A submission assignment is a way to collect student work from the Learning ePortfolio so you don't have to navigate to each individual ePortfolio page to review and grade.
When you create a submission in O-Space, you are creating a process workflow that can have 1-step or multiple steps that will allow students to upload coursework (evidence) and allow faculty to grade.
(1) Add a New Submission Assignment
(2) Make sure to Add "Evidence" as the First Step of Workflow otherwise students cannot submit work to you.
Submission Assignments are built in the O-Space Course (CMS).
Students can submit pages from their Learning ePortfolios or directly upload documents and typed responses.
The submitted coursework is centrally collected in the "Submissions" tab within your O-Space Course (CMS).
