Assignments

Your instructor may ask you to complete course assignments within an online course.  For instance, you may be asked to upload a file document, compose a message, or embed a media file to complete an online assignment in the Assignments tool. Most assignments require a file document to be uploaded first, and then submitted to the assignment folder. Refer to your instructor for guidance on the assignment's instructions.
