Instructors can have you submit an assignment in Brightspace in different ways:

• File submission: You need to upload your assignment as a file in the assignment (for example, a Word or PDF file).
• Text submission: You enter text, an image, or a link to your work in a text box in the assignment. For example, if you need to create a webpage, you can place the link here.
• File or text submission: This is a combination of the two options described above. It is often used when you need to submit a file but also include a link, image, or text.
• On paper submission: You submit the assignment as a hard copy and do not need to upload it to Brightspace. Instructors can enter the grade in Grades.
• Observed in person: You perform a task during the class or workshop, for which the instructor enters a grade as for an assignment, even if you do not need to upload anything in Assignments

The instructor will make it clear in advance whether you need to submit the assignment in Brightspace.

1. Navigate to Learning Activities and then select the appropriate week in the Course Content of your course. The assignment may also be found under Dropbox.
2. Click on the desired assignment.
3. Here you can upload a file via Add a File or drag your file to Drop Files. Optionally, add a comment if you wish, and then click Submit.

After you have successfully submitted an assignment, you will always receive a confirmation email with the date and time of your submission.

In the same way as described above for File Submission, you can also find the assignment with Text Submission.

1. Under Text Submission, enter the text for your assignment. You can optionally use the formatting options in the HTML editor (text box).
2. Via Insert Stuff, you have various options to add content. For example, you can choose Portflow if you need to submit a snapshot from your portfolio.
3. Click Submit to submit your written text.

What exactly you need to submit depends on the instructor’s instructions. From a technical perspective, you can follow the steps described above.
