Submit an Assessment
Auto-save and connection loss
A Last saved notification appears at the bottom of the screen. Your work is automatically saved:
Two seconds after you stop typing in the submission area.
Every ten seconds while typing essay responses.
When you click outside the Submission box.
If your internet connection is lost:
A Connection lost warning appears.
If the connection isn’t restored within 20 seconds, a second warning notifies you that your most recent work wasn’t saved.
Once reconnected, your work is auto-saved again and a Connection restored message appears.
Offline submissions
Your instructor can add assessments that don't require you to upload a submission.
Examples of offline work:
Oral presentations
Science fair projects
Acting performances
Artwork delivered in person
Face-to-face team building exercises, panel discussions, and debates
You can view the assessment alongside other content on the Course Content page and on your global and course grades pages. When you access the assessment from these course areas, you're informed you can't submit work online. Your instructor can add instructions, files, a rubric, and goals to help you prepare for the offline work. You can also participate in the assessment's conversations if enabled.
For offline submissions, you can't submit multiple attempts and your instructor can't add a time limit.
On your Course Grades page, your grade appears with Submitted offline. If your instructor used a rubric to grade, the grade pill displays a rubric icon.
