Insertable "Text Box" option in Rich Text feature
I would like to make a request to add a Text Box feature to the Rich Text format for students when completing assignments. I have documents that I need my students (at home and in person) to edit/complete but not all student computers have the same functionalities/accessibilities.
Adding an insertable “Text Box” feature/option to the Rich Text format (accessible after clicking the initial "Submit Assignment" button) would help students make additions to a document and complete assignments without needed extra programs/downloads.
For example, in the Canvas Speed Grader, I have the option to insert a Text Box on student work that is submitted to me. It would be nice if I could give an assignment and students could insert a Text Box to add their answers to areas of a document without extra steps. Some students can't complete the assignment at all due to the lack of accessibility options on their devices.
Adding this feature option to the Rich Text format would help in various subject areas and grade levels. As it stands now, many teachers are having to do several "work arounds" to get simple tasks completed.
Thank you for considering this request.
