Canvas Update | March 2021

In the latest Canvas release (March 20), you can expect to see these enhancements (subject to change.)

• Students WebCam Submissions in Assignments
  In file upload assignments, students can use their webcam to submit to an assignment. This change allows students to use their webcam to submit a file upload assignment from the browser and aligns behavior with the Canvas Student app.
• SpeedGrader Submission Reassignments
  In SpeedGrader, you can reassign an assignment with a due date to an individual student and ask them to redo their submission. This change allows you to provide feedback and reassign an assignment to an individual student, which places the assignment back in the List View Dashboard as another assignment to complete.
• Rich Content Editor File Preview Enhancements
  Files linked in the Rich Content Editor can be previewed in an overlay or inline. This change allows you to control the display of the file preview. Previously all file previews opened in a new browser tab. Preview inline loads the displays the preview directly in the Rich Content Editor window once the file is clicked. If the option to expand the preview by default is also selected as an option, the file is automatically expanded in the page and users do not need to click the file to view it. Instead, users can close the preview by clicking the Minimize Preview link that displays along with the image.
