Examples of Using Illinois Media Space Assignment Activity

Frequently Asked Questions

• Do students just upload a video to this activity? 
  No, students must first add a video to Illinois Media Space and then link it to the assignment. See our Student - Submitting an Illinois Media Space Assignment page. This page is also accessible to your students.

Best Practices

• Use clear descriptions of activity in the description field including:
• How students will be graded including any grading guides and rubrics
• Formatting rules
• File types that will be accepted
• Examples of exemplary submissions
• Communicate dates in a way that is easy to maintain
• Rarely use hard due dates (e.g. September 22, 2017) - opt for relative dates (e.g. Tuesday of Week 1) whenever possible
• Use the year when typing hard due dates so that if it does not get updated, it will be clear that this is the wrong date.
• When you would like to collect submissions at midnight, consider using 11:55pm instead. Students are often confused when something is due on Monday at midnight, but the system says that it is due on Tuesday at 12:00am.
