Submitting Upload Assessments

This resource introduces upload assessments and tips for students submitting online assessments.

Upload Assessments

Upload assessments refer to any assignment, project, or assessment where the student completes authentic, original work and uploads it to the learning management system (LMS). An upload assessment may be a worksheet the student is asked to complete or an assignment in which they create their own file to upload.
