Ever since Palomar College started using Canvas, the “Assign To block” has been present at the bottom of the edit screen for anything that gets a grade. This includes assignments, quizzes, graded discussions… anywhere that faculty can set due dates and availability dates.
Starting on Saturday, July 20th, this interface in Canvas is changing. The functions remain the same, but rather than having the classic block display on the edit page, now there is a link to set the assign functions.
Clicking the “Manage Assign To” link opens up a side-bar with a slightly modified set of controls.
This new interface should make it easier to set the dates and times. The field showing who the work is assigned to works the same as the classic Assign To block, so that is unchanged.
Keep in mind that if you need to modify the dates on multiple assignments, you can still do so all in one place. Just follow the instructions from “How do I bulk update due dates and availability dates as an instructor?“
