Hello there, @mitchpali ...
This is just a thought...but could you create a Google form (or something similar) where students input their responses into text blanks? All of the responses would be collected in a Google Spreadsheet for your review. You could embed that form inside of a Canvas assignment, and you could still attach a Canvas rubric to the assignment to use it for grading. If you embedded the form in the Canvas assignment, students would never have to leave Canvas. You, as the instructor, would just need to review the responses in Google rather than Canvas.
Would that work for your needs? Take care, and be well.
