I am an instructor and want to use Student Annotation as the submission type. My question is - can students copy and paste into a comment? In other words, can they get AI to write the comment and then copy and paste it into Student Annotation assignment?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hey there @ecass ,
Yes, students are able to copy and paste into an annotation text box when completing an annotations assignment (I know they can do it with freetext annotations especially). I thought I'd also provide you with a direct link to a document that could be useful for you, too. https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Student-Guide/How-do-I-annotate-a-file-as-an-assignment-submissio...
All the best,
