The Assignment task type requires the student to submit external work, separate to the Vasto system.

The assignment activity allows a student to indicate this has been submitted/completed. 

When they have indicated that the assignment is complete, this work should then be assessed by an assessor who needs to verify in Vasto that the assignment was completed satisfactorily.

How to Set Up an Assignment Activity

1. Follow steps 1 - 4 as outlined on the create an activity help page 
2. Link or upload resources (optional). This may include supporting material, detailed PDF instructions, templates or other documents the student will require to assist them in writing their assignment. 
   
   Before you have saved the activity, you have the opportunity to provide external links
   
   
   
   Once the activity has been saved, you will instead have the opportunity to attach files
   
   
   
   
3. Provide instructions in the notes tab (optional).
   The notes tab allows you to populate instructions which are visible in the student portal. This might include information on how to complete the assignment and what the marking criteria are. 
   
   
   
   
4. Save your changes
