Illinois Compass 2g, Assignments
This page contains information about creating assignments in Illinois Compass 2g courses.
Assignments allow instructors to create coursework and manage the
grades and feedback for each student separately. Instructors may create
an assignment that lists the name, point value and description of the
assignment. Files may be attached the Assignments. After an
Assignment is added to a content area, students may access the
assignment, complete it in a separate file, and send it back to the
Instructor. The instructor may respond to each student separately,
sending comments about their individual assignment and attaching files,
if necessary.
Assignments may also be distributed to course groups. See Creating Group Assignments for more information.
Note: Once a student completes and submits an Assignment, the instructor may access this file in the Grade Center.
