Assignments may be enabled for each individual lesson and\/or topic within your course. They are completely optional, but provide an additional way to monitor the user’s comprehension of course material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This article will explain how to enable assignment uploads so that users can submit assignments for you to review. If you’ve already done this, check out our article on managing assignments<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since assignment uploads are enabled on a lesson-by-lesson and topic-by-topic basis, you first need to navigate to the lesson or topic in which you’d like to ask for an assignment to be submitted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the rest of this article, we’ll use a lesson as the example, but the same instructions apply for topics.<\/p>\n\n\n

    What the User Sees<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    When you enable assignment uploads, a new box will appear at the bottom of the lesson page, below any page content you’ve added. This way you can include specific instructions for the assignment, and explain any requirements you have, before the user is presented with the upload form.<\/p>\n\n\n
