EOS 70D Not Working in Dark

I started taking a photography class this past January.  Unfortunately my professor teaches everything with Nikon and doesn't know very much about Canon.  I bought my Canon this January and have been learning all the ins and outs. However, when I try to take a picture in the dark (part of my assignment), regardless of the setting, the camera will not snap.  I have to turn on some lit before it would work.  The professor took several shots with his Nikon in class with the lens cap on to demonstrate in class.  Do any of you know why?

You can achieve interesting and (maybe)pleasing effects from a time exposure that enhances specific areas of the image with an additional light source. It's like burning in the dark room.
