eWānanga LMS lets pouako set up an Assignment with a variety of settings. For example:
- Your pouako can control whether you can make only one submission or can re-submit files, and whether you can upload files after due dates have passed.
- Some assignment types let your pouako return a submission with comments for revision. The kaiako can then re-open the assignment to allow for another attempt. You can then upload your revisions by returning to the link for the assignment.
Your pouako can use a standard assignment, which looks similar to this:
Note: The names of the assignments given above are examples only. Your pouako will use different names for your assignments, but you can clearly identify assignment activities by their icons.
This page describes the standard assignment.
Or, they may give you a Turnitin assignment, which looks similar to this:
Submitting a Turnitin assignment? Click, Submit a Turnitin assignment.
