Canvas Slam Tip 1

First in a series of quick tips about Canvas.   

Last year, several people asked me about the best way to collect journal posts in Canvas. At the time, I recommended making discussion groups of 1 and having students make multiple submissions through Discussions. This year, I’m doing it differently.

1. I have created a comments-only rubric and have attached it to an assignment I have labeled “Journal due”
2.  I move the “Journal due” assignment forward every two weeks.
3.  In submission attempts, I made it unlimited.

Thus, I can now easily reuse the same assignment, allowing for multiple submissions but in the end only one final grade.
