How do I create an online assignment? – Bearface

You can create online assignments for students to submit their assignments through Perceivant.

When allowing file uploads as an online entry option, you can restrict certain types of files for assignment submissions. In the case of restricting assignments with an odd or unusual file type, try adding it to your course to confirm the file is accepted before requesting students to submit the file type.

Open Assignments

In Course Navigation, click the Assignments link.

Open Assignment

Click the title of the assignment you want to edit.

Edit Assignment

Click the Edit button.

Select Online Submission Type

In the Submission Type drop-down menu, select the Online option.

Select Online Entry Options

Select the online entry options you want to allow for the assignment. You can select up to four options:

Text Entry [1]: Students can submit their assignment directly in the Rich Content Editor.

Website URLs [2]: Students can submit a URL that fulfills the assignment.

Media Recordings [3]: Students can submit an audio or video recording that fulfills the assignment. They can either record new media or upload existing media.

File Uploads [4]: Students can upload a file to fulfill the assignment.

Restrict File Types

If you allow file uploads, you can choose to restrict submissions to specific file types. To enable this option, click the Restrict Upload File Types checkbox [1]. In the Allowed File Extensions field [2], enter a list of accepted extensions. All file types need to be separated by a comma. You can include spaces, caps, and periods in assignment file names.

Note: In the case of an odd or unusual file type, try adding it to your course to confirm the file is accepted before requesting students to submit the file type.
