Assignments

The Assignment activity in eClass provides a “dropbox” in which students can submit their work digitally. Through this activity, faculty can download a student’s assignment and provide detailed feedback all in one space. The Assignment activity also allows for the submission of a wide assortment of file types (e.g., Microsoft Office documents, media, etc.).

Using online assignment submissions for summative or formative assessment has many advantages. Some of them include:

  • The ability to create a paperless classroom
  • A more organized, sensitive, and efficient approach to digital submissions
  • Secure and timely transmissions of student feedback
  • Features for group submissions and assessment
  • Tools for in-depth grading and analysis
  • Additional controls to discourage and prevent academic dishonesty
