The Assignment
feature combines the file exchange capabilities of the Digital
Drop Box with the organization and convenience of the Gradebook.
This tool allows the designer the opportunity to create and
post an assignment in any of the content areas and keep the

and Grading Assignments |

Instructors can
retrieve and grade assignments through the gradebook, much
like any other kind of assessment. However, Assignments have
other tools that make managing multiple files much easier.
|
|
1. To retrieve
an individual student's submission, select the individual
entry with the symbol (!) from the Gradebook.
|
|
|
|
|
2. Click on "View"
to download the file/s the student has submitted, add feedback
that the student will see in his/her Student Gradebook, and
add private Instructor Notes that will not be seen by the
student.
|
|
|
|
|
3.
To return a graded assignment, click the individual entry
from the gradebook and then click "View". In the
feedback to student section, enter a grade, comments, attach
the graded assignment and click .

Once the assignment
has been completed you can batch download a copy of the submitted
files for archiving.
|
|
To download
a file(s) simply click on the title of the assignment in the
gradebook and then click on the "Item Download"
