Assignments: Media Submission
Media Submission Assignments

Record or Upload an Audio or Video File

- Select the "Start Assignment" button in the top corner of the screen.
- Be sure the "Media Submission" tab is selected.
- Select "Record/Upload Media," then select the "Upload" or "Record" tab depending on how you want to submit. (NOTE: Review the example above).
- If uploading a file, choose the correct file type: Audio or Video.

If you are recording a submission for the first time, you will need to give Canvas permission to access your camera and microphone. Follow the directions on your device to allow access.
There is also a space to leave a comment for your instructor. Assignments can be re-submitted until the last availability date that your instructor has set for the assignment. Once submitted, you cannot delete your submission.
