Definitions

An assignment consists of something that a student creates and then uploads into the course for the teacher to grade. For example, the student could do any of these:

  • Write a paragraph
  • Take a photograph
  • Create a piece of music
  • Build something and then take pictures and write about the experience
  • Visit a museum and then upload pictures and a report of the visit

Sometimes, an assignment is an activity completed outside of the course. The last two items in the preceding list—building something and visiting a place—are examples of that. An assignment can also be done entirely inside the assignment activity. For example, you could have the student write a paragraph in the assignment activity and then submit it to the teacher.
