You can create two types of annotation assignments with Hypothesis using the "Assignments" section in the Canvas course menu.

• course assignments 
• group assignments
  
  

Creating an annotated document or resource as an assignment allows instructors to:

• use the Speedgrader to grade student annotations and contributions 
• set availability and submission deadlines
• define groups for each assignment
  
  

When creating an annotation-based assignment you can define one of four document sources:

1. Entering a URL of web page or PDF
2. Selecting PDF from an existing file in Canvas
3. Selecting PDF from Google Drive
4. Selecting PDF from OneDrive
