Instructors who wish to assign readings to students with due dates can create an ungraded, no submission assignment in ELMS-Canvas. These types of assignments will be listed in the Course Summary section of the Syllabus tool but will not be listed in the ELMS-Canvas Gradebook.

Creating an Ungraded, No-submission Assignment

1. Click on "Assignments" from the course navigation.
2. Click the "+Assignment" button in the top-right corner.
   
   
   
3. Provide an "Assignment Name" in the top box.
4. Enter a description or assignment details in the Rich Content Editor.
   
   

   Below the Rich Content Editor are assignment settings. For an ungraded, no-submission assignment, set the following options to:

   5. Points - Set the number of points to 0.
   6. Assignment Group - Select an assignment group or create a new assignment group. Instructors may wish to have a separate Assignment group to keep these assignments aside from any graded assignments. *See more details on assignment groups below.
   •  
   7. Display Grade As - Select "Not Graded."
   8. Assign - Select who and when will see the assignment. To ensure that the Course Summary section of the Syllabus tool is organized properly, you will at least need to provide a "Due" date.
   9. Click "Save" (saves a draft) or "Save & Publish" when finished.
      

Assignment Groups are a way to organize activities listed in the Assignments tool in ELMS-Canvas. Assignment Groups can be used to visually arrange activities together in any way that makes the most sense for your course (examples: by activity type, by topic, by week, etc..). Assignment Groups can also be weighted so that the scores of activities within the group will count for a certain percentage of the final grade.
