Hi Karl, Are you referring to assignments generically, or are you talking about the Assignment placement/item type in Canvas specifically? We ended up not using the Assignment placement for our tool, because the line item/grade service ended up creating an additional assignment shell when we created our resource links through the Assignment item type in Canvas, which resulted in duplicates. One challenge we've seen with the assignment shells is that they don't include a link to the external tool, so students see the assignments hyperlinked in their Syllabus and Coming Up menus, but are not able to access the content by clicking on the links. Going back to the multi-select question, we launch our link-picker from a Module or Page, and are able to select multiple resource links and/or line items.  Once we confirm the selections, it takes us back to the External Tool page in Canvas, which we then just close out, and all the links and line items are published. ...

It seems like this feature should be viewed holistically with the late submission policy.  So perhaps the missing submission would ignore items with due dates in the future, whereas all assignments with due dates in the past or no due dates would have the missing rule applied when it was turned on.  The other option would be to ignore assignments with due dates entirely, as the late submission policy could handle those programmatically.  This makes more sense to me than ignoring external tools or other submission types for the missing submission policy. The most common use case I've seen is instructors wanting to automagically apply zeros at the end of the semester for work that wasn't done.  In this case, the question of delays between assignment completion in an external tool and Canvas receiving grades from those tools really doesn't apply. ...

Thanks, Tyler. I understand that's where admins go to configure a specific tool provider, but the very first line in the document says "The LTI 1.3 and LTI Advantage framework involves the LTI 1.3 and LTI Advantage account-level feature option, which can be enabled for an entire account. Canvas admins can enable this feature in Account Settings." Specifically, I'm looking at the part that says admins enable the feature in Account Settings (not Developer Keys). Do Canvas admins need to take action in order for LTI 1.3 to be available on their instance, or is the option in Developer Keys automatically enabled?

Where specifically in account settings is LTI 1.3 enabled? ... View more
