Achieve More with Assignments in Canvas

The new Teams Assignments integration brings unique new capabilities into Canvas, saving educators time, and providing powerful tools to accelerate learning.  For example, with Teams assignments you can:

  • Leverage AI during assignment creation to rapidly draft assignment descriptions and rubrics
  • Accelerate student learning and educator insights with Reading, Math, Search, and Speaker Progress assignments
  • Deliver auto-graded quizzes with Microsoft Forms
  • Access unique assignment types such as Microsoft Whiteboard, MakeCode, and Flip video
  • Use Reflect exit check-ins to gain insight into student sentiment related to assignments

Teams Assignments are seamlessly integrated with your Canvas assignments via the Learning Tools Interoperability® (LTI®) v1.3 Advantage standard. As an educator, you can create new Teams assignments or link existing Teams assignments in your course.  Once linked, you can view and access those assignments as you would any other assignment in the course. Your students can view and access their Teams assignments in the same way as their other assignments. Grades and feedback in Teams are automatically imported into the Canvas course gradebook. You can now use the best of Teams assignments and Canvas together.
