How do students submit their coursework?

Students submit completed coursework to an Assignment folder. Assignment folders are created in the Course Activities section of the course shell, accessed via the Course Activities dropdown menu in the navbar. There are several tasks with which you will want to familiarize yourself:

• Create an assignment and add it to a module in Content: vtac.lonestar.edu/help/a032 
• Create a group assignment: vtac.lonestar.edu/help/a041
• Edit an assignment: vtac.lonestar.edu/help/a035
• Attach a file to an assignment: vtac.lonestar.edu/help/a030
• Set availability and due dates for assignments: vtac.lonestar.edu/help/a046
• Using Turnitin or Grademark with an assignment: vtac.lonestar.edu/help/a050

LSC-M Faculty Tips

• To promote engagement in the course, plan activities in all three methods of interaction:
  • Student to student (e.g., discussion post)
  • Student to instructor (e.g., feedback on a graded assignment)
  • Student to course material (e.g., assigned reading chapters, videos, and/or work within the instructional materials assigned)
• Providing an explanation of how the course activity is relevant to the course helps students understand the “why” the assignment is in the course and may help with assignment submittal rates being increased.
• Consider including an example of the completed assignment to support student learning.
