Submit assignment

Assignments in your module that have a status other than Being Reviewed, Deadline Passed, or Done can still be submitted. An assignment may consist of the following components:

  • Description: Each assignment begins with a description. This typically outlines the steps you need to complete to fulfill the assignment requirements.
  • Submission Items: Assignments may include none, one, or multiple submission items. Specific requirements may apply to these submission items (e.g., file types, formats, or content).
  • Rubrics: Assignments may contain one or more rubrics. Rubrics provide detailed criteria for how your work will be assessed. During the evaluation, the reviewer fills in the rubric to grade your assignment.
  • Reflection Invitations: Assignments may include reflection invitations. These can be optional or mandatory, sometimes requiring a minimum number of invitations. A reflection invitation involves asking another user to evaluate your assignment.
  • Requesting Feedback: You have the option to ask questions or request clarification from the reviewer(s). This allows you to improve your work before final submission.

Below, each of these components is explained in greater detail.

Linking deliverables to an Assignment

An assignment may require 0 or multiple deliverables. deliverables can be mandatory or optional and might be checked for plagiarism. To link a deliverable to an assignment:

  • Under the Hand in your work section, you can see if submission items are required. Below What is Needed, you will find the specific requirements:
    • The number of items you need to submit. This can range from one to multiple items.
    • The type of file that must be submitted (e.g., document, image, or specific format).
  • Click on + Choose a Submission Item to add the required item(s).

  • The deliverable you link must already exist in your portfolio. You have two options to select a submission item:
    • Choose from Your Portfolio: A list of your portfolio items will appear. Select one item and click Choose.

If you choose a portfolio item with the privacy setting Draft, it will automatically be updated to Visible to my evaluator(s) to meet submission requirements.

    • Upload a New File: Create a new work item directly in your portfolio. Once created, it can immediately be linked to the assignment as a submission item.

Reflecting on Rubrics

Assignments may have rubrics attached, which can be mandatory, optional, or optional after submission. If there is no optional label next to a rubric, you must complete it before submitting the assignment.

  • Criterion: A rubric can include multiple criteria. For each criterion, you must select the level at which you assess yourself. After selecting a level, a text box will appear below for additional explanation. Providing an explanation is not mandatory and serves only to justify your choice. The completed rubric, including any explanation, will become visible to the evaluator(s) once the assignment is submitted.
    • Saving Progress: Reflections are saved as you go, allowing you to start a reflection and complete it later.
    • Making Changes: If you have filled out the entire rubric but wish to make changes, use the Reset button. This will clear the rubric, including any comments. If the assignment has already been submitted, select Withdraw Assignment to edit the rubric. Comments can then be modified or deleted.

Important: All criteria must be completed. Otherwise, the Submit button will remain inactive, and you cannot finalize your submission.

  • Badge: After completing all criteria, the average score is calculated, and a badge is assigned based on this score. Once the assignment is fully completed (including evaluation), the badge will be issued. A distinction is made between the badge you award yourself and the badge assigned by the evaluator(s).

Reflection Invitation

An assignment may include a reflection invitation. This can be optional, mandatory (with minimum and maximum requirements), or not included in the assignment at all. All users within your environment can be invited to provide reflections.

  • The invited user receives a notification of the invitation and can then reflect on your assignment and provide an evaluation.
  • The scores given by the reflectors are displayed in the skills diagram under Others.

Asking for Feedback

During the assignment configuration, it can be set whether, and how many, feedback questions you can ask as a student.

  • If you ask a question, it will be directed to the evaluator(s), who can respond.
  • Feedback questions and answers can be exchanged in the form of text, audio, and/or files.
  • When an answer is provided to your question, you will receive a notification.

Comments provided under a rubric and feedback may be edited or deleted by the author.

  • Once the assignment has been submitted or finished, the comment can no longer be edited or deleted.
