In Canvas environments using LTI 1.1, Admins can enable a global setting to give Instructors the option to implement a dynamic lock on their Canvas Assignments. The dynamic lock will allow students to submit videos for assignments using the Media Chooser. Video Assignments submitted by students can either be locked to prevent any changes from being made, or students can be allowed to resubmit assignments as many times as they'd like until the due date of the assignment. 

Enabling the LTI 1.1 Tool

  1. Log into Canvas as an Admin.
  2. From the Canvas Navigation Menu, click the Admin option and select your organization.
