[Assignments] streamline the Assignment submission procedure
Two problems with the UX for the Canvas Assignment submission page: First, when submitting an assignment, the student sees a button that reads "Upload file." After clicking that, there's a second button that reads "Choose file." Next to "Choose file" is a message that reads "No file chosen." Requiring two button clicks is cumbersome, confusing, and inefficient. (The message "No file chosen" is confusing, too—because the student is just about to choose a file!) The second problem is that files can only uploaded one at a time. Some courses (like art classes) require multiple file submissions. Uploading only one file at a time is also cumbersome and inefficient.
The student should only have to click once on a single button ("Upload"). Eliminate the "Choose file" button; it's not necessary. Ideally, the "Upload" button would allow a student to drag-and-drop one or multiple files right from their own drive, à la Google Drive or Dropbox. So, to sum up: The Assignment submission page should have just one button ("Upload"), which would allow multiple files to be uploaded at once via either standard file directory selection or drag-and-drop. Thanks!
