From Manage Assignments Section, instructors can created their own assignemnts and then they can set the marks for completing the assignment.
Whether to include in the course evaluation or not. If you are not assing this in course evaluation then the marks obtained in assignments will not be counted in the total marks of the course
From here, you can check the activities performed by users, and you can also check the submissions from the submission tab
We introduced two types of Assignemnts :
Static - Create a simple assignment in which users need to write
Upload - Students Can upload PDF, PPT, or any other format (depends on instructor, which file format he allowed in the assignments)
