Using the Assignments function in Brightspace, it is possible to add instructions to an assignment, set deadlines, set assessment criteria, assess submitted work and provide feedback. If an assessment includes (partial) grades, you can display the grades in Grades.

Assignments has several options around the process of creating, submitting and grading assignments, such as:

• choice between individual assignments and group assignments;
• submit a group product by one student and automatically give the whole group the same assessment;
• set submission conditions;
• allow assignments to be submitted in different file types (including text, audio or video files);
• exempt students from the assignment;
• assess student work using annotations and rubrics;
• set up multiple assessors;
• check student work for plagiarism using Turnitin.
