Can I use the Canvas teacher app to submit on behalf of a student?

I know how to access this feature from my grades on my laptop but I can't access the feature to submit on behalf of a student on my iPad. I am giving my students paper assignments and asking them to use the scan tool to upload their work digitally to Canvas. Some students are struggling with this so I'd like to be able to scan their work from my iPad when needed. I also have two paraprofessionals on my team who work exclusively from iPads and I'd like them to have this ability too since they don't have access to a computer. Scanning with the iPad, saving it, sending it to the laptop, saving it there, and then uploading it is just a lot of extra effort.

Hi @KyleSupe,

As far as I know, you can't use the mobile app to submit on behalf of, but if you use the safari browser on the iPad to access Canvas, you should be able to submit on behalf of form there!

I hope this helps!
