Assignment Tool Features
CLE allows instructors to collect student reports through the assignment tool.
Collected reports can be evaluated and managed individually for each student, and feedback can be provided as needed.
Notable features:
Can be set for individuals or groups.
Can allow multiple submissions.
When files (e.g., PDF, Word) are submitted, they can be downloaded.
Text entered directly into the submission textbox can also be exported as files.
If you prefer to collect all responses in a single file, we recommend using a test with essay-type questions.
