Instructors can create Read and Respond assignments on course materials, requiring students to read and annotate PDF files as directed by the instructor. Read and Respond assignments are seamlessly integrated into the course page in Canvas, and the easy-to-use LCM grading dashboard synchronizes the students’ grades with the LMS grade book.
To create a LCM Read and Respond assignment, create a new assignment in Canvas, and then add the following:
Note that you can fill in any required information to create the assignment, but LCM only uses the values for the number of points and the due date.
Note: Uploading a file here will add it to your Leganto resource list.
Note: the drop-down list only includes citations with PDF files.
Once a Read and Respond Assignment is created, select the link in Canvas to access it. The instructor can see the grading dashboard, showing the students and the status of the assignment per student.
Students can access the Read and Respond Assignment from within Canvas.
Note: If the student leaves without submitting the assignment, annotations are saved.
Note: The student cannot make any further changes once the assignment is submitted.
Once students have submitted the assignment, the instructor will grade the students’ work. Now when you click on the assignment as the instructor, you can see an overview of the students’ submission status.
