Assignments
Assignments include Quizzes, graded Discussions, and online submissions (i.e. files, images, text, URLs, etc.). Assignments in Canvas can be used to challenge students' understanding and help assess competency by using a variety of media. The Assignments page will show your students all of the Assignments that will be expected of them and how many points each is worth.
Assignments can be assigned to everyone in the course or differentiated by section or user.

Quizzes
Canvas offers a tool called Quizzes for posting timed assessments and surveys to your students. The quizzes tool is great for creating formative tests where students can check their knowledge. Research shows that self-testing is better for retention than re-reading notes (aka traditional studying).
