The Instructure Community will enter a read-only state on November 22, 2025 as we prepare to migrate to our new Community platform in early December. Read our blog post for more info about this change.
I am wondering if assignments can have multiple text entry fields, or if there are plans to add this feature to Canvas assignments?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi! This is currently not available. However, many instructors use Quizzes to create multiple question assessments with their own text-entry spaces. When I taught, I used Quizzes to creatively walk students through activities that had multiple parts to them. I know that the term "quiz" will be attached to the assessment/activity, but students learn the context and how it will be evaluated quickly.
If you'd like to see this as an assignment in Assignments, feel free to create a new Idea! It would be interesting to watch the conversation develop. How do I create a new idea conversation in the Instructure Community?
