Why should I use Canvas Assignments?  To design and assign quizzes, graded Discussions, or online submissions (i.e., files, images, text, URLs, etc.), Canvas Assignments is the place to go. From the Assignments page, you can list all tasks, their point values, and due dates, as well as assess student learning. Whether you want to assign work to a whole class or to specific sections or students, then the Assignments page has you covered.
