Hello Hive Mind,
I am told that Canvas has the basic functionality as Kami. I need my students to be able to write on PDF's and than resubmit them to me for grading. I for the life of me can not figure out how to do that. Does anyone have a quick how to guide created?
Thank you!
Solved! Go to Solution.
After you create the assignment, select the Submission Type - "Online" from the menu and then "Student Annotation."
You can then upload your PDF. Once you save the assignment, you won't see the PDF unless you view it as a student.
