Collaborations: Create "Assignment" option

(4)

I would like to see Canvas add an option that allows the instructor to set it up as an Assignment. Right now, I have to create a two-step process: 1) Students use collaborations to complete their work, 2) They have to download and submit their work in a separate assignment. I would like to see a pathway linking "Collaborations" to "Assignments" to help create a more streamlined process that is less confusing for the students and better supports the experience of using collaborations.

This would be an excellent feature! 

Additionally, please add a feature to "Collaborations" that allows students to provide anonymous feedback on their partners. Make this feedback readily apparent in "Speed Grader" so that an instructor can view the work product from the students and the student feedback together.

Allow for a numerical rating, perhaps even across a couple specific dimensions (ie participation, teamwork, responsibility, knowledge, etc), with a comment box to provide feedback. This could even be added to the grade book and tracked throughout the course.

I was just looking for that very feature.  Thanks for suggesting it!

Agree. Collaborations should be part of the Assignment settings.
