Paper submission Not displaying for students

[TaraBarr]

When an assignment is created there is the option for "paper copy submission" which is great. However students can't see that option displayed. It just gives them no option to submit. Can we get an option to display "paper copy" to students so they realize how it needs to be submitted?

@TaraBarr ...

I am not familiar with the phrasing "paper copy submission" for Canvas assignments, but I know that there is an option of "On paper".  Is that what you are referring to?  If you select the "On paper" option, then there won't be an option for students to submit anything to you within Canvas.  Rather, you would want to choose the "Online" option so that you can allow students to submit work electronically to you.  Check out this Guide: How do I create an online assignment?.

Do you think this will work for your needs?  Keep us posted here in the Community...thanks!

Hello @TaraBarr - I see what you are noting - while the instructor sees a note that it is on paper (in yellow), students do not see that in their view. To help with a short-term solution, it may be useful to include 'on paper' in the assignment title or perhaps as a line in the instructions.
