How do I reply to a discussion as a student?

You can easily reply to any discussion. However, the reply option may vary depending upon how your instructor set up the discussion. Discussion replies can be edited or deleted, as long as your instructor has not restricted this setting in your course.

Before submitting a reply for a graded discussion, you may want to review all discussion information, such as the graded discussion rubric, if any.

Note: The discussion reply Rich Content Editor includes a word count display below the bottom right corner of the text box.

How do I view my Roll Call Attendance report as a student?

If your Assignments page includes a Roll Call Attendance assignment, your instructor is taking attendance in your course. As part of the assignment, you can view your attendance record in your course. Like any other Canvas assignment, you can also view or leave comments in the submission details page.

If the Roll Call Attendance assignment is available to you, this lesson shows you how to view your attendance report through the Grades page. However, if your instructor allows you to view the Assignments link in Course Navigation, you can also access the submission details through the Assignments page by opening the Attendance assignment.

How do I view annotation feedback comments from my instructor directly in my assignment submission?

Your instructor may choose to include comments directly in an assignment submission using inline comments, or annotations. If an assignment’s submission details page includes a View Feedback button, you can view these annotated comments through a preview tool called Canvas DocViewer. You can also use Canvas DocViewer to reply to any comments or make your own annotations.

Some browsers may not initially render comments correctly when viewing feedback. If your browser includes a built-in PDF viewer, select the option to view the PDF in the system viewer. You can also download PDF files with comments to view on your computer. The settings required to view or print the annotations in the PDF vary based on the software installed on your computer.

Note: If the assignment attachment displays a Preview button instead of the View Feedback button, your file is not DocViewer compatible and will not include any annotated comments.

English

Su instructor podría elegir incluir comentarios directamente en la presentación de la tarea usando comentarios incrustados o anotaciones. Si la página de detalles de la presentación de una tarea incluye un botón Ver comentarios (View Feedback), puede ver estos comentarios a través de la herramienta de previsualización llamada Canvas DocViewer. También puede usar Canvas DocViewer para responder a cualquier comentario o hacer sus propias anotaciones.

Algunos navegadores podrían no mostrar los comentarios correctamente al principio. Si su navegador incluye un visor de PDF integrado, seleccione la opción para ver el PDF en el visor del sistema. También puede descargar archivos PDF con comentarios para verlos en la computadora. Los ajustes requeridos para ver o imprimir las anotaciones en un PDF varían de acuerdo con el software instalado en su computadora.

Nota: Si la tarea adjunta muestra un botón Previsualizar (Preview) en lugar del botón Ver comentarios (View Feedback), su archivo no es compatible con DocViewer y no incluirá ningún comentario.
