Slow network? How to submit your assignments using text entry
You can submit online Assignments in Canvas using several submission types. Instructors can choose what kind of online submissions they want you to use. You may also have the option to resubmit assignments if your instructor allows.
If you live in an area with a slow network, We advise participants to try the "text entry" method of submitting your assignment. If you have limited bandwidth to work with, uploading a document can slow things down. With text entry, there is no need to upload a document and it is more efficient in a slow network. You simply compose your assignment in a separate document and when you finish, just copy and paste from the document into the text entry box for the assignment. Very easy!
