New Canvas feature: webcam submission

Hello,

 

If you haven’t already noticed, Canvas has enabled the webcam submission feature in Canvas. This works in Assignments and is triggered when you choose the Online Entry Option called File Uploads. Students see a Webcam button, in addition to Files. They simply click Webcam to take a picture of an object (say, a Math solution on a piece of paper) and submit it. This alleviates the step of students taking a picture with their phones before uploading. Click this Canvas Community page to view a video of the process.
