Preview instructions for assignment

Status: Archived Submitted by on ‎04-21-2020 10:18 AM

I Think it would be a handy feature if you could preview the assignment details,dates,instructions by hovering over the assignment listed in each module with the mouse. And even instructions under the module title/header. This would allow the teacher to keep the assignment and module titles short and clean looking and not so wordy.  Then the student would not have to open each assignment to get a glimpse of what work needs to be done.

Now that I'm using Canvas to teach online, I don't want students to be able to submit an assignment until a certain date but I DO WANT THEM TO BE ABLE TO REVIEW THE ENTIRE ASSIGNMENT AHEAD OF TIME.

If I limit availability, they can't "see" the entire assignment. I can not allow submissions for "Assignments" until I want them, but that becomes a management nightmare--I have to remember to set up submissions at the appropriate time. And that does not work for "Discussions." 

This is a particular problem because reading assignment links are included in my Discussions. It's absolutely essential that students be able to access those ahead of time to print them out when they have a printer available.

I would be handy to inform the students about the subject for a quiz. When I add an available from date they can not see my instruction untill this date. I want to be able to put the learning instruction all ready visible.
