Assignments

Instructors may place an "assignment" in any of the content areas of your course-where you can upload a completed assignment in the form of a Word file, Excel file, etc. to the Bb site-similar to using the Digital Dropbox. An entry is automatically created in the Gradebook when you upload your assignment. Your instructor can then grade the assignment and post the grade directly to the gradebook.

From Your Course:

Click on desired Content Area where the assignment has been placed or deployed (Course Materials, Assignments, Syllabus, Books).
Click on the View/Complete link under the Assignment title and description.
Type in comments as desired.
Click on the Browse button to find your file on your computer.
Note: You may add multiple files by clicking on the Browse button again and choosing new files.

Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the Submit button if you have completed the assignments; click Save if you want to come back later to complete the assignment. Please note that clicking Save will not submit the assignment to the instructor.

More Information

Q: How is the Add Assignment tool different from the Digital Drop Box?

A: This tool is separate from the Digital Dropbox, although it works in a similar way. In the Drop Box, files were uploaded and accessed through the DropBox for viewing and comments only. Assignments are linked directly to an entry in the Gradebook and can be accessed and graded from within the Gradebook.

Q: Can I add a second file to my assignment?

A: Yes, but only before you click the Submit button. Once you have loaded your first file, click the Browse button again to choose a second or third file. A Choose File window will open. Locate the file you wish to add and click the Open button. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click Submit .
