Introduction
Assignments are tasks that instructors or administrators ask you to complete, as part of your training path to help you consolidate your learning and apply the concepts and skills you have acquired.
Assignments are considered course lessons and are listed in the course syllabus.
Assignments can be in the form of files, screen recordings, or links to external websites.
Once you submit an assignment, the person who assigned it to you will evaluate it and/or provide feedback.
Uploading an assignment
Access the course and click on the title of the assignment in the Course syllabus area. You can identify assignments in the list of lessons by checking the text under the lesson title, which shows the lesson type.
Once you select the assignment, its instructions will be outlined in the course player area. Read them carefully and click on Go to submission area to proceed.
Type the assignment name (mandatory) and optionally a description to provide the instructor with extra details about your work.
Depending on the format of your assignment, you can:
Upload a file
Depending on the assignment settings, you may be able to upload one or more files. Click on Upload a file and select the files from your device, or drag and drop them. Remember that:
- The maximum size per file for every assignment is 40 MB.
- The allowed assignment file types are: 3GP, 3GP2, AVI, BMP, CSV, DOC, DOCX, EPUB, FLV, GIF, ICO, JPEG, JPG, MKV, MOV, MP3, MP4, MPEG, MPEG4, MPG, MPG2, OGG, OGM, PDF, PNG, PPSX, PPT, PPTX, SRT, TXT, VTT, WMV, XLS, XLSX, ZIP.
The files you uploaded are listed in the Uploaded files area, sorted chronologically (most recently uploaded files first).
If you want to delete any of the files you uploaded, click on the X button at the end of the row of the file. If you want to delete all of the files you have uploaded, click Clear uploaded files.
Reference an external link
Click on Add a link in the Upload options area to submit your assignment by referencing an external link. With this submission option, you can reference only one link.
Paste the link in the Link field. If the link you entered leads to a video, its preview is loaded. Click on the X button at the end of the link row to clear the field and paste a different link.
Before submitting the assignment, you can change your submission method by clicking the Change submission method button.
When the video is uploaded, it is shown under the Link area, and you can preview it.
Submitting an assignment
At any time, before submitting the assignment, you can leave the lesson by clicking Leave assignment in the top right corner of the player. If you leave the assignment, the files you uploaded and the links you added will not be saved, and you’ll have to start over again when you return to the lesson.
When ready, click on Submit assignment.
After you have submitted an assignment, the lesson will be marked as In progress until the instructor or the administrator has evaluated it and given it a passing score. Depending on the assignment settings, you may not be able to progress in the course while the assignment is being evaluated. If so, the Next lesson button is disabled.
When the assignment is evaluated, the assignment page shows your final score. Click on Show assignment details to see the list of uploaded files, the instructor comments (if any), and to leave comments in your turn.
If you failed the assignment, you may be able to resubmit it. If so, the Resubmit assignment button is available.
