[ARCHIVED] Retrieving student submissions across multiple classes

[vancej]

Does anyone know of a way to retrieve students' assignment submission across multiple classes?

Hey Jason,

Because each Canvas course has a unique SIS ID and course number, an assignment in one Canvas course is not the same assignment in another, even if it's been duplicated. To protect student privacy (FERPA and all that), there is very little information connected to the student account. Assignment submissions are connected to the course AND the student. To get to the point, it's impossible to find submissions from a different course unless you are that student.

Joseph,

Thanks. Just to clarify my question is referring to retrieving/collecting all of the submissions for one assignment.
