VITAL support for staff





Assignment tool

What does the tool do?

The Assignment tool allows you to create a specific assignment item in a module where students submit a piece of coursework electronically. A student submission may consist of one or more files. Every assignment you make will automatically create a corresponding column in the Grade Center, where you can grade and add feedback. Submitted assignments can either be viewed online or printed off in a batch from the Grade Centre. Assignment set-up options include:
• Specify due date and time;
• Specify number of times a student can submit;
• Create Group assignments (one student can submit for the whole group).
