Canvas Student app Submit Assignment wording could be improved

0 Likes

I am a student using the Canvas web and Canvas Student iPadOS apps. I've noticed that for file-upload assignments, there is a bit of inconsistency between the web and iPadOS (and possible other mobile platform) apps.

On web: "Submit Assignment" is pressed after you have uploaded files. It is the final step in the assignment submission process.

On mobile: "Submit Assignment" opens a file upload prompt, with another button titled "Submit" that is the final step. 

This is a bit confusing, and the wording of the button on mobile doesn't accurately reflect what it does. I would suggest changing it to something along the lines of "Upload Files" or the like to better reflect what will happen when the user presses the button.
