An Assignment can be added to a D2L Brightspace course for online or offline student submissions. By adding an Assignment to a course page, the instructor creates a submission link that students click to submit electronic files (File Submission) or to type text in a text editor (Text Submission).
NOTE: |
Student assignment submissions can be graded through the Progress link in the Navbar. You have the choice of grading through either Grades or the Quick Eval tool. For more information on how to grade assignments, visit the Grading pages (coming soon). |

Creating an Assignment with Limited File Types |
You can restrict which file extensions (i.e. .pdf) can be uploaded as assignment submissions. When this restriction is enabled, students are presented with a list of acceptable file extensions for their assignments. If a student uploads a file that does not have the specified file extension selected by the instructor, an error message will appear indicating that the file type is invalid.
|
Adding an Existing Assignment to a Module/Submodule |
If you have created an assignment via the Tools menu in your course navbar, it will not appear in the content area of your course unless you add the existing assignment to a module or submodule.
The assignment will now appear as a link in your module or sub-module (see example below) |
