Assignment Settings

To access settings, either navigate to the required assignment or add a new assignment in "Edit Mode". When adding a new assignment, assignment settings will appear automatically.

For an existing assignment, click "Settings".

The "General" section includes giving the assignment a name and description. The name field is required.

Optional fields including "Activity instructions" and "Additional files" can be included to better communicate the requirements of the assignment for the students.

The "Availability" section determines the time frame that the assignment will remain open for submissions. There is an additional "Remind me to grade by" setting for academics to be alerted when to start marking.

The "Submission types" section determines the format of how submissions are made. The recommended setting is the "File submissions" for "Submission types", however, can be changed should the assignment require a different setting.

"Feedback types" section controls the format of feedback that academics can give students. The recommended setting is enabling "Feedback comments", "Annotate PDF" and "Feedback Files".

"Submission settings" define how students should make submissions. This includes enabling the requirement to "click the submit button" and requiring students to "accept the submission statement". The number of assignment attempts can also be adjusted.

The "Group submission settings" adjusts the requirements for group assignments (if applicable).

"Notification" settings include the ability to notify academics about submissions made by students. Assignments can also display which markers have been assigned to the student, should the assignment require so.

The "Grade" section includes everything Gradebook-related. Here academics can set a maximum grade, set a grade to pass, and enable anonymous marking.
