This month Canvas has added clarification to peer reviewed assignment due dates.
Listen to a recording of this post:
The IT Assistance Center (ITAC) is also hosting training for New Quizzes to get you ready for the release. At the end of this blog, you’ll find links to all training opportunities to bolster your Canvas skills.
Assignments: peer review date text clarification
If you automatically assign peer reviews, the menu displays additional options. In the Reviews Per User field, enter the number of reviews each student will be required to complete.
Whether manually or automatically assigning peer reviews, use the calendar icon to select a date or manually enter the date for student peer reviews to be assigned. If left blank, Canvas will use the assignment due date.
