If you are in a course or program that uses Taskstream for assessment or other purposes, you may be asked to submit a Taskstream assignment within Canvas. You can access Taskstream assignments from the Canvas Assignments tool, or from the Modules tool if your instructor has placed the assignment in a module.

To access and submit a Taskstream assignment:

  1. Log into Canvas and navigate to the course containing the Taskstream assignment.
  2. In the course navigation menu, if you access your assignments via the Modules tool, click Modules. Otherwise, click Assignments.
  3. Locate the assignment associated with Taskstream in the assignment list.
  4. Click the title of the assignment to open it. Depending on how your instructor configured the assignment, it may open within the Canvas wrapper or it may open in a new window. You'll see the "Taskstream Submission" screen listing one or more requirements for the assignment. Click the title of a requirement to read the directions and submit your work.
