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.
