Assignment Submission types
- Assignments can be in form of uploaded text files, text written directly on Atto editor (Moodle text editor enabled in CNM Cert) or even images, link and video files.
- Teacher can also set a Word limit to text files and size limit for any other specified types of files , which will display a warning if students exceed it.
- Student submissions are together on one screen of your course. Also, assignments may be for one individual or group .
