How do I find an assignment in a course?

Based on the instructions received in your course, you can locate the assignment activity by the name and topic section of the course. An assignment activity is indicated by the assignment icon.

Clicking on the assignment’s name will take you into the details area for that specific assignment, where you will also be able to add a submission.

I need to submit video or audio for my assignment. What is the best way to make this submission?

I need to submit a photo or scanned image of my handwriting for my assignment. What is the best way to make this submission?

You can upload an image using the file uploader available in the assignment submission area. However, your file cannot be larger than 20MB. If you are using your phone’s camera to take a picture of your writing, adjust the photo resolution before taking the picture. Alternatively, you can compress an existing image file to reduce the size of the image. For assistance with compressing an existing image file, please contact the Technology Help Desk (help@brandeis.edu or 781-736-4357).
