Submitting Assignments
The Assignments tool presents a variety of learning activities. You view and submit assignments from one location. Your instructor designs assignments that require you to:
- Provide text on the Upload Assignment page.
- Attach files from your computer or from the Content Collection.
- Both provide text and attach files.
Assignments list the name, description, and attachments for class work. Your instructor provides you all the information you need to complete the assignment. You can include comments for your instructor before you submit your work.
How to Submit an Assignment
When you finish your assignment, you must click Submit. If you do not, your instructor will not receive your completed assignment.
WARNING! If your instructor has not allowed multiple attempts, assignments can be submitted only once. Ensure that you have attached any required files to your assignment before you click Submit.
- On the course menu, select the content area that holds the assignment, for example, the Assignments content area.
- Click the name of the assignment.
- On the Upload Assignment page, review the instructions and download any files provided by your instructor and complete the assignment using one or both of the following:
- Click Type Submisssion to expand the Assignment Submission box where you can type your response. You can use the content editor to format text, add files, images, links, multimedia and mashups.
- If your response to the assignment is in a separate file, click Browse My Computer and select a file to attach. If you attach a file, type a Link Title. If the box is left blank, the file name becomes the link. Follow any instructions that your instructor provided for naming your file.
- Note: If you have selected the wrong file, you can remove it by clicking Do not attach. If the same file is attached to your assignment more than once, the new file is saved with a number appended to the name. For example, history_assignment(1).doc.
- Note: If your instructor is using a rubric and has made it available, click the View Rubric button to view grading criteria.
- Optionally, type comments to your instructor in the Comments box.
- Click Submit.
- A success message appears, confirming the assignment submission.
