Summary

Learners can upload any of the file types supported by Safety Made Simple, and upload up to 5 files, to complete their assignments.

The course owner, an assigned instructor or an admin reviews the learner's work, and provides feedback. LearnUpon provides notifications for assigned instructors and learners.

The reviewer can also reject an assignment, allowing the learner to re-do it.

Assignments do not have due dates. To set a time limit for an assignment, use due dates and expiry dates for the course, to ensure learners know when to submit their work.

Access permissions for assignments

Instructors can create and edit course content if their permissions are turned on.

Managers can create and edit course content if they have instructor permissions.

Admins can create and edit courses without restrictions. 

Create an assignment module

An assignment module requires at minimum a title and summary, to appear in the course. You add attachments after creating the module.

2. From center navigation, choose Content.
   
3. From Add New Content, choose Add Assignment.
4. In the New Assignment page, enter a title for learners to view, and a summary of the assignment requirements.
   
5. Enter the whole assignment in CK Editor or upload an additional attachment for the assignment.
   
6. Set or change the following settings for your assignment:
   • Passing Score: set a number score to determine a pass or fail mark for the assignment, NOT the course. 
   • Allow learners to upload files: allowed by default
   • Allow learners to enter a free text-based answer using the CK Editor: allowed by default
   • Prevent learners viewing assignment questions/handouts after it has been submitted: disabled by default. If enabled, after the learner submits their work, they no longer see the assignment tite, and their own submitted answers or files
   • Autocorrect assignment when learner submits their answer: disabled by default. This setting is for assignments that don’t require instructor or admin interaction. If enabled, the system marks the assignment as complete when learners submit the assignment, and sends feedback you provide automatically.

   • Optional: upload reference materials to accompany the summary of the assignment, up to 500Mb per file, limit of 5 files.
