New Feature in Canvas: Embedding an Image Directly from Your Computer with the Rich Content Editor
by Thomas Keith | Nov 30, 2018 | Canvas , Canvas Features/Functions , How-tos
The Embed Image function in Canvas’ Rich Content Editor has long offered several different ways to find images to embed: entering an image URL, browsing within the files attached to your Canvas course, or searching Flickr. Now, a new feature makes it possible to find an image directly on your computer and embed it into a content page, assignment prompt, discussion comment, or anywhere else the Rich Content Editor appears, without first having to upload the image into your Canvas course files.
To use this feature:
1. Click the Embed Image button in the Rich Content Editor.
Rich Content Editor toolbar with Embed Image button indicated
2. Choose the Canvas tab and select the folder in which you wish to store the image. Course files is attached to a particular Canvas course, and files stored there can only be used in that course; My files is attached to the Canvas account of a particular user, and its files can be used in any course to which the user belongs. When you have chosen your location, click the Upload File button.
Image Source dialog box with Upload File button indicated
3. Browse to the image file on your computer and click Open .
Picture selected to upload to Canvas
4. Once the image has been uploaded, you can then enter alt text for screen readers and set the desired dimensions. When you are ready to embed the image, click the maroon Update button.
Image Source dialog box with Update button indicated
5. The image will now be embedded within the page, assignment, etc. Be sure to click Save to save your changes when you are done.
Sample content page with image ready to be embedded and Save button indicated
This new feature makes it possible for students, as well as instructors, to upload and embed images with the Rich Content Editor. For example, your students can now embed an image in a comment within a discussion thread, or create a multimedia wiki by embedding images on a content page (provided you set the page permissions to allow students to edit). Please note that because students, unlike instructors, do not have access to Course files , they must select My files as the location to which to upload images.

Designing Transparent Assignments in the Age of AI
Have you ever had students submit assignments that didn’t quite meet your expectations? Or have students ever expressed confusion about what they’re supposed to do or why they earned a particular grade on a task? In this interactive workshop, we’ll explore how you can use the inclusive and research-based transparent design framework (commonly referred to as TILT) to streamline and strengthen the clarity of your course assignments so that students can be more successful. We’ll also discuss how you can use the AI Assessment Scale to convey your expectations about if and how students can use artificial intelligence in their assignments.
NOTE : This is a virtual workshop that will be held via Zoom. There will be breakout room activities, so please come ready to engage. Additionally, please bring a copy of one of your course assignments to the session.
Presented by: Tolu Noah, Ed.D., Instructional Learning Spaces Coordinator ( [email protected] ).

Workshop Recording
This is a new workshop! We'll add the recording approximately one week after the session has been presented.
University Center for Teaching and Learning
Canvas update: improvements to the ‘assign to’ interface, canvas update: improvements to the 'assign to' interface.
Instructure has been implementing a lot of much-requested features in Canvas in the last year, such as the anonymous discussions we covered in our last update bulletin . This month, they’ve released another one: improvements to the “Assign To” interface. In addition to a smoother experience with assignments (including quizzes and graded discussions), this update allows “assigning” modules and/or pages to sections or even individual students in your courses. Those who are not assigned the content will not see it at all. See below for some examples where this new feature might be used.
You can watch or read more about the update below or read the notes directly from the vendor.
Also, take a look at the University Event Calendar ! The University Center for Teaching and Learning’s summer and fall sessions will be up soon, including a mini-session that will review all of the new features in Canvas over the last year.
There have been even more features added to Canvas recently that we will cover in the coming weeks. It’s an exciting time for Canvas users!
Examples for using differentiated modules or pages
- A merged undergraduate/graduate course where there is additional content for the graduate students.
- A course that has an optional “writing intensive” add-on, where only some students need the details for the writing component of the course.
- Supplemental material that is only intended for majors even though it is taken by many students from various departments.
- A “choose your own topic” module where students in the same course choose an elective topic to learn. A course might, for one module, allow students to select one of three topics to study independently before rejoining as a group.
- An “organization” course (e.g., for orientation or advising) where most content applies to all students, but some modules with major- or program-specific information could be managed by advisors from the relevant department and released only to their students.
- Certain types of alternative grading have students elect their desired depth of study, mastery, or grade. Differentiated modules or pages can be used to ensure students only see the content they have chosen to target.
- When a teacher administers a diagnostic assessment and then assigns modules based on the outcome. (It may be easier to use the Mastery Paths feature that could automate parts of this, but the new feature allows an instructor to do it manually.)
- A project where each student in the course is responsible for editing a page in Canvas. The teacher can create the pages, assign each page to the responsible student, and change the edit permissions on that page to allow students. Normally if you set a page to allow students to edit it, all students can. For example, this could be used for students to directly build a lesson plan, lecture notes, slides (etc.) for their presentation directly in Canvas. Once it’s done, the teacher than then change the edit permissions back to Teachers Only and change the Assign To back to everyone.
Using the new Assign To interface
The Assign To box is no longer directly visible when editing an assignment (including quizzes and graded discussions). There is now a link button labeled “Manage Assign To” where Assign To was previously located.
When you click on this button, a tray will open from the right revealing the Assign To tray (seen below). The Assign To panel has also been reformatted: the date-time box has been split into separate date and time selectors for easier use, each date is on its own line, and everything has been resized to be readable without any elements being hidden from view.
Once you are finished making changes to the Assign To tray, click Apply at the far bottom right corner. Don’t forget to save the assignment itself once you’re done with all changes!
The functionality of Assign To remains the same:
- The Due Date is what appears on the student “to do” lists and calendar, and any submissions after this time are marked as late.
- The Available From date is when the assignment opens and begins accepting submissions. Before this date, the students only see the general details (title, point value, and dates) of the assignment; they can not see the full prompt and cannot yet submit.
- The Until date is when the assignment closes. Students cannot submit after this time.
- Each Assign To box (which defaults to “everyone”) shows who that set of dates applies to. “Everyone” changes to “Everyone Else” once you add any exceptions with the +Add button. You can differentiate due dates by sections in cross-listed courses. If you remove “Everyone”/”Everyone Else” from the list, only those students explicitly listed will have the assignment available.
Reminders about accommodations for assignments and quizzes
Please keep the following in mind when managing your assignments and quizzes; these items have not changed:
- When making an accommodation for one or more students, do not click the “X” next to everyone. If you do that, it will be unassigned from the rest of the course (including blanking the cell in the grade book). You only need to click the +Add button and fill out the relevant details for the adjustment. Read more in the full directions .
- If everyone is taking the quiz at the same time, you should not use the “time limit” feature; only the Assign To “from” and “until”. Time accommodations are done with the Assign Access interface. (If you do happen use both a time limit and a narrow availability window for a quiz that everyone takes together, any accommodations would need to be entered twice: once in Moderation for time limit, and once in the Assign Access panel for the availability window. Canvas will close the quiz on the first instance of time ending, whether it’s the time limit or the window.)
- If your students have a wide window in which to take the quiz, but should be limited time once they begin, you can use the time limit feature. The entire window is managed with Assign Access “from” and “until”. Time accommodations for these quizzes are done from the Moderate page.
Differentiating Modules and Pages
In addition to the improved interface for editing assignments, you can now use the same Assign To panel from Modules or Pages to differentiate who can see this content. In both cases, all content defaults to “Everyone”. That is, everyone in the course can see the content (once it is published) as before.
For a module , edit the module (click the “…” on an existing module) and select Assign To from the menu. The revised module edit tray will open to an Assign To panel that is very similar to the one used for assignments. If the module already has an audience selected, there will be a direct link in the module header you can use as a shortcut.
For a page , you have two primary methods: (1) edit the page and use the Assign To button at the bottom that matches the interface for an assignment; or (2) view the page and click Assign To at the top next to the publish button.
Combining with dates
You can combine the Assign Access functionality with dates. Follow the links below for more details on using dates with modules or pages.
