The Assignment Tool

The MyCourses Assignment Tool allows our students to submit papers, case studies, presentations, speeches, recordings, and videos. 

The Assignment Tool allows students to submit (attach and upload) files such as Word, PowerPoint, and PDF.  It can also be used to allow students to embed video and audio files that they have created or uploaded to their Kaltura My Media account.   The Assignment Tool can include rubrics to help you assess student submissions.  As an alternative to the standard MyCourses rubrics and assignment markup features, Turnitin, integrated with the Assignment Tool, offers plagiarism detection along with Grademark’s rubrics features. 

Create an Assignment

Individual or group assignments can be created using the assignment tool. You can set availability, due dates, and link the assignments to the gradebook.

Grade an Assignment

Assignment submissions can be graded directly in MyCourses. You can add comments and annotations directly to most submissions. Watch the following tutorial to learn how to grade assignment submissions. 

If you enabled Turnitin, you can grade a submission using the Turnitin Grademark features in MyCourses.
