Why adapt assignment names

Notice how the assignment names have been adapted by Canvas in the mobile version.

If it's a quiz, Canvas has added the word "Take".

If it's a discussion board, Canvas has added "Turn in".

Consider changing assignment names

So sometimes the phrasing is not helpful to students:

Turn in Discussion

How do you turn in a discussion? or turn in a lecture video?

So consider rephrasing in a way that doesn't cause more confusion. Options might include:

Use the Canvas changes by titling the assignment accordingly:

(Turn in) Post for Discussion
(Turn in) Second post
(Take) Quiz 4
(Take) Survey on patterns

Do you have assignment names that won't make sense on Canvas' To Do list on a cell phone? Consider changing them! And remember, it's always wise to view your classes on the Canvas Student app on a cell phone, using your separate Canvas Sample Student account, just to ensure you know what your students are really seeing.
