Instructure is announcing an update to simplify the experience of educators and students who use Canvas LMS with Apple devices. This enhancement enables educators and students to upload and interact with files from Apple's iWork apps - Keynote, Pages, and Numbers - directly in Canvas, simplifying the assignment submission process for students and streamlining grading for educators.

For Apple customers, improving support of Apple file formats in Canvas is a game-changer. Compatibility of Apple file formats in Canvas’s Docviewer enables educators to more easily use Canvas’s SpeedGrader to review, annotate, and offer valuable real-time feedback to students. SpeedGrader also allows instructors to quickly view and grade students' submissions for Assignments, Discussions, and Quizzes and add grades directly to the Gradebook.

Learn more about the update here from Canvas.

Submitting Assignments

Submitting for Student

New Feature as of 3/18/23.

Teachers can submit a file upload assignment on behalf of a student in the Gradebook. The submission includes the timestamp and who submitted the assignment. Additionally, the instructor can submit multiple files at a time for a single student and submit beyond the availability date.

This update allows instructors the option to support students in situations that need an alternative means of submission.

You can learn more about this new feature, as well as other Canvas Release Notes here.
