[ARCHIVED] Kami and allowing other types of submissions???

[beachdays561]

Hi Everyone! 

The easiest way to use Kami with Canvas is to use the external tools under submission types. The kids can just press "Load in a new window" and the assignment opens up, allows them to use Kami tools to complete, and then they click submit and viola done! Right? BUT HERE IS MY PROBLEM: 

I teach middle school at some students prefer to submit on paper. But if I click on external tools submission, NO OTHER SUBMISSION TYPES are allowed.. students cannot attach files or anything. They cannot even make comments. This never happened with Schoology so I have no clue how to solve this. 

Help! And thank you!

I wish this wasn't an issue but this is what I have done. I leave instructions for students who wish to upload a file or print and send a scan of their work to just attach that to a message to my canvas inbox. It's not ideal but the majority of my students use Kami (when it is working but that's another issue) and so I only have 10 or so "inbox attachment" submissions.

I get this same question from our teachers.  Their workarounds include accepting email submissions, or putting the submission in a comment in the assignment.  We'd like to see multiple submission types when external tool is used.
