We advise using the following tools for your education:

Peer-review

To provide your student with feedback, you can make use of the peer feedback module. This will provide them will valuable feedback. A best practice is to set up a peer feedback assignment to let students give each other feedback on a draft of their assignments, before handing in the final version of the assignment via Canvas. This way, the quality of assignments should significantly improve, and students will learn from giving and receiving feedback on their work.
