[Mobile - Canvas Student] Submit from Third-Party App - add in Module Filter

Students are 1:1 with iPads and we greatly appreciate the ability for them to be able to turn in assignments from third-party apps such as Notability and Google. Students use a drop down menu to choose a course and then an assignment. The problem comes in that as the course progresses the list of assignments can become extremely overwhelming and students have a tendency to submit work to the incorrect assignment.

Solution idea would be to add in the option to choose a module after choosing a course, which would then limit the list of assignments to those that are in the module.

Another solution idea would be to have the assignments organized by module or to display the list of assignments differently so that students can more easily decipher which assignment they are looking for.

The giant list comes down to availability dates. If the instructor never "closes" an assignment, it's always listed.

I like the idea of adding the module for the selection option. Bonus: this would encourage more faculty to adopt modules!. Another bonus? I always add a 📌 to the current module's name so it really stands out. It would follow to the assignment selection too.

Thanks for posting!
