MemberPress Course Assignments

Description

The Course Assignments addon adds an assessment assignment system to MemberPress Courses, allowing instructors to create activities within lessons and students to submit text responses or upload files directly through the course area. Grading is centralized in an admin review panel, where you assign grades, comments, and unlock student progress along the learning path.

Key Features

• Assignments within lessons
  Inserts activities as a native content type into the MemberPress Courses lesson flow.
• Text or file submission
  Students respond through a text editor or attach documents directly on the assignment page.
• Admin grading panel
  Centralizes pending submissions on a single screen, with filters by course, student, and status.
• Instructor grades and comments
  Allows assigning numerical scores and providing written feedback for each submission.
• Assignment-based progress blocking
  Prevents students from advancing in the course while a pending activity has not been submitted or approved.
