LearnPress Assignments

Description

The Assignments add-on adds a module of gradable assignments to LearnPress courses, allowing instructors to create activities with a submission deadline, a minimum passing grade, and a limit of attempts per student. Students submit text or file responses directly through the course player, and grading can be done manually by the teacher or automated by defined criteria, integrating the result into the overall course progress.

• Deadline and attempts configuration
  Sets a time limit, maximum number of submissions, and minimum passing grade per assignment.
• Student answer submission
  Allows students to submit typed text or file attachments through the course area.
• Manual grading or automatic scoring

• Course progress link

The combination of free-form submission (text or attachment), configurable passing parameters, and a direct link to course progress gives the teacher a real validation tool, without resorting to external plugins or parallel spreadsheets.
