Work in assignments
Updated 10 Sep 2024
How you open assignments depends on your course. You’ll answer most questions in the student player. It checks answers and sends the results to your gradebook. Some assignments might use a different app that you use outside of the student player.
Using an LMS? You might have a direct link to your assignments from your learning management system if your course is delivered in Blackboard, Canvas, D2L Brightspace, Moodle, Sakai, or Schoology.
