Step-by-step version (alternative to watching the video)

• Expand the assessment folder in your subject content and click on the assessment task you wish to submit.
• A side panel will open. Click on the 'View assessment' button (at the bottom of panel). This will open your assessment task, with description, instructions and submission area.
• Click on the 'Add content' button in the submission area to bring up an editor text box where you will submit your assignment.
• Click on the arrow beside the '+' sign. A dropdown menu will appear giving you with 3 options to upload your file: 'Insert Local Files', 'Insert Web Content', 'Insert from Cloud Storage'.
• Browse your file locations and select your assessment, click 'Open', rename it if you like, then click 'Save'.
• Once you see your file in the submission box, and you have checked everything is ready to go, click the 'Submit' button.
• Be sure to check your lecturers instructions for each assessment. In most cases you will be asked to submit a file rather than typing your content straight into the submission box. This helps the lecturer in marking and providing feedback on your assignment.

Note: Attempt is counted when you click on 'Submit' not 'View assessment'

Suggestions on how to name attached assessment files

• Subject Code - Assessment Number - Surname (Example: MX1001_AssessmentTask2_Smith)
• Avoid using symbols or spaces, for example: SS0000 Assessment 1 Smith
