I work in elementary and several of our teachers are using modules that require 100% correct assignments (created in quizzes) for them to move forward. If they make one or two mistakes, Canvas requires them to redo the entire assignment, rather than just correct their submission and resubmit. This is difficult for elementary students, and so we have had to come up with other ways around it that are quite cumbersome.
It would be great if BOTH assignments and quizzes could offer an "edit (or revise) and resubmit" option for students, so that they don't have to redo the entire assignment. It would save everyone tons of time.

My students have Windows touch-screen laptops. I was so excited about the possibilities that arose when the pdf annotation assignment submission option was released this year. I really wanted students to be able to draw models for math and science or annotate maps in social studies.
However, I became much less excited when I found that the annotation tool doesn't support passive stylus or finger drawing input. The drawing must be done with a mouse or with their laptop trackpads. This is really difficult for elementary students.
I'm wondering if there is a way -- maybe with a button or something -- that the drawing input could be enabled or activated using the touchscreen rather than just a connected input device. Without that capability, the pdf annotation feature is not terribly helpful. Other apps like Kami and Nearpod have this capability.

Being able to annotate a pdf directly in Canvas is VITAL for primary grades, math and science. So many districts are now requiring Canvas for K-12 and have provided their students with laptops and Chromebooks. Having that option only on the app is NOT good enough. I am the Canvas support person at my school and it is a constant battle. You have already created the capability for the speed grader, now you need make it an option for assignment submissions. It is incredibly frustrating that this is not yet integrated. Navigating to other apps or uploading files are not options for the primary grades. FIX THIS PLEASE!

Canvas, PLEASE add audio recording to New Quizzes. Our entire district is shifting to Canvas K-12 and being able to record audio is a big selling point for K-6 and SPED teachers. Having students be able to respond with audio recordings right in Canvas is huge. Uploading outside files is not a good option for elementary kids. As the Canvas coach at my school this missing feature in New Quizzes makes the sell that much harder. Please add this ASAP!

I find myself frustrated regularly that there is not a "short answer" type question that is included in quizzes. I'd like students to have the option to write a free response answer that is just a sentence or two not a whole "essay." I'd really like it to look like a fill-in-the-blank type question but doesn't require the instructor to provide a "correct" response. It would be completely awesome if there could be multiple short answers in one question just like there are multiple fill-in-the-blanks now. Right now I'm working on a vocabulary page and each word has several things students are supposed to do -- identify the part of speech, describe synonyms and antonyms, use it in a sentence, but I find the current quiz choices lacking. Having an "essay" question for each of those parts would make the assignment incredibly cumbersome. I created a pdf form, but pdf forms aren't supported. I created a form in Word, but I have several students for whom word online isn't working. I wish I could just make the form in Canvas -- kind of like a worksheet. #
