[Assignments] Provide a Time Limit to Media Recording Assignment Submissions

For Online Assignment => Media Recording Submission  -- have the ability to put a time limit for the recordings submitted by students.

 

This came up during our Canvas Bootcamp, and we have a LOT of Elementary Teachers who are learning Canvas, and Media Recording submissions will likely be used a lot with the little ones. Being able to enter a time limit will be helpful.

 

From a teacher:  "For video submissions can you place a time limit, as you can in Flipgrid?"

I think that this is a great idea.  It would help the instructor better define parameters like on a paper submission that has a word limitation or word minimum (your paper should be at least 500 words).  The instructor could define a time parameter (your video should be at least five minutes) and then prevent uploading media that is too short.

I also would concur that this is a great idea. We often have students who do way to long of videos and then have issues uploading. Being able to set a limit for media or recordings were done in Studio would be a huge help!

I want to be able to add a time limit for an assignment with submission type Online Entry, Media Recording. I would like to have options such as, 30 sec, 1 min, 1.5 min, 2 min, unlimited.
