how to submit an assignment in brightspace

Submit an Assignment in Brightspace

Brightspace allows students to submit assignments to their instructor online. Your assignment will then be graded by the instructor. The instructor may also provide feedback on your assignment which you can view.

For information on submitting a Turnitin assignment, please follow the instructions here .

Understanding due dates and end dates

A due date is the submission deadline of an assignment in your course. This date is specific to assignments only.

End dates are attached to assignments. The end date is the final date an assignment is available for you to submit to, regardless of the due date. Once the end date of the assignment is past, you are no longer able to submit, no matter what the assignment’s due date is.

You can check these dates and date settings on the  Assignment List  page. Hover your mouse to find information about start and end dates with settings to explain how the assignment appears before and after these dates.

1. Navigate to the course navbar to the Activities drop-down tab to find Assignments .

Note – Your instructor may have customized their course navbar. Be sure to confirm with your instructor how they have set up their course at the beginning of the semester.

2. From the Assignments screen, you will see all current assignments available to you. Click on an assignment to submit.

3. You will see your instructor’s description of the assignment here. Scroll down to Submit Files. Here you can enter text into the text editor, upload a file, or record audio & video.

4. When you select Add a File, you will be prompted to upload a file.

5. When you have uploaded or attached your assignment submission, select Submit .

6. Once your file has uploaded, you will see the Review Assignment Submission page. Review these details to ensure all the information is correct. Depending on your notification settings, you may also get an email confirmation.

Google Drive in Brightspace allows you to use Google Workspace to complete and submit course assignments and organize your work.

• Navigate to the Assignment. When on the Submit Assignment screen, click Add a File.

• From the Pop-up, select Google Drive.

• If this is your first time using Google Drive in Brightspace, click Sign in , agree to the terms, and log in with your USC credentials.

• Select the file you wish to add, then click Upload . This will upload an offline version of your file. You cannot add a live file link. Note: Uploaded offline files will automatically convert from Google files to Microsoft files, which may cause formatting issues.

• Your Google file is now added to your assignment submission. Ensure your submission is complete and click Submit .

View Assignment Feedback and Scores

When feedback and scores are available, you will see those updates on the Assignment page. Select Unread in the Evaluation Status column to view feedback from your instructor.

• On paper submission : You hand in an assignment as a hard copy. This will not be uploaded to Brightspace.   The teacher can still provide feedback to you in Grades.
• Observed in person : If you have to perform an assignment in a lecture or workgroup, the teacher can provide feedback for this as an assignment, even though you are not required to upload anything in Assignments. 

The teacher will tell you beforehand how to submit your assignment to Brightspace.

Brightspace , Help

Submit & Confirm your Submissions

Follow these simple steps to submit an assignment in Brightspace. If you get an error message when uploading a file, check out common reasons why.  If you are not able to upload, let your instructor know right away and contact [email protected]  for assistance.

Resubmit a submission

Important note about due dates & end dates.

• Most instructors will set a   due date for an assignment. Once the due date is reached, assignments can still be submitted to the system, but will be timestamped and flagged as late. Your instructor will likely explain how or if they consider late submissions in the syllabus.
• In some cases, an instructor may also choose to add an end date to their assignment. Once the end date is reached (e.g. Nov 19 at 11:59), submissions will no longer be accepted.

Below you’ll find a walkthrough video and screenshots of what you will find in the assignment tool.

Updated Jan 20, 2022

Brightspace assignment walkthrough

The main view of the assignment tool.

This is a screenshot of the assignment tool. It has been streamlined to reduce scrolling and has clearer titles for the right side menu sections that used to be tabs.

The main portion of the page has a space for the assignment name, grading options, due date, assignment instructions, attachment options, and one click buttons to record audio or video for the assignment.

In Brightspace, you can hover over the attachment options to see a tooltip title of what it attaches.

At the bottom of the page next to the Save and Cancel buttons is a toggle control the visibility of the assignment.

On the right side of the screen are 3 menu boxes that you can open up for more options: Availability Dates & Conditions, Submission & Completion, and Evaluation & Feedback.

The default grading option for assignments is ungraded. To change this, click the box under “Grade out of” . This then brings up more grading options.

There is now space to type the points total and an In Grades dropdown menu for linking or removing grade items. After you have given the assignment a points value, it will automatically create a grade item in your gradebook even if you do not use the Edit or Link to Exiting grades option to link a grade item . It will have the same name as your assignment.

Choose from grades

Clicking Edit or Link to Exiting brings up a popup box that you can create and link a new grade item . Or choose to link to an existing grade item .

A new grade item will automatically have the same name as your assignment. You can change this in the Gradebook if you choose. You can also choose a grade category for the item or pick a specific grading scheme.

To link to an existing grade item, choose it from the dropdown menu that appears.

Remove from grades

If you can see the In Grades dropdown menu, that means that a grade item has been automatically added to your gradebook with the same name as this assignment. Choose Not in Gradebook to remove the grade item . You will still be able to see the point value you have added but it will not be in the gradebook.

Reset to ungraded

This option will unlink the assignment from your gradebook and your Grade Out of box will reset to saying ungraded.

Click the triangle next to Availability Dates & Conditions title to open up those options.

This section includes options for Start and End dates , Release Conditions, and Special Access .

These are the options for file submission .

Select whether this is an individual or group assignment. Add an assignment category if you choose. *This is different than a gradebook category.

Choose file submission type: File, Text, On Paper, or Observed in Person.

Choose how many files are allowed per submission and which file submission is saved. Add an email address to be notified when an assignment has been submitted.

You also have the option of restricting which file type is allowed for submission from the Allowable File Extensions dropdown menu. You can reference this Brightspace page to see which file types are Annotatable Files .

This section has options for adding Rubrics and Learning Objectives . You can also toggle on and off your annotation tool . This tool allows you to digitally mark up files submitted by students.

Turning on Anonymous Marking allows you to evaluate the assignment without seeing student names. This must be enabled before any submissions are made.

This also has the option to use our Turnitin integration to manage student file submissions.

Previously, you could copy assignments in the same course or use the course copy tool to copy assignments to a different course. Now you can copy assignments to a different course right from the assignment page.

• Click the down arrow next to the Assignment title to bring up the context menu
• Choose Copy to Other Courses
• Click the checkbox next to the course(s) to copy the assignment to those courses
• Indicate if you want to also copy the associated rubric and grade item
• Double check your selection on the next screen then click Copy

Once the assignment is successfully copied, the you will see a message of Copy Complete with a green checkmark.

Hopefully you find the assignment tool from Brightspace to be an improvement and that it helps you in your assignment creation. As always, if you have questions please contact the IDAT team for any Brightspace help.

• How can I use Assignments for groups?

Updated on Jul 16, 2021

This article explains how you can use Assignments for groups.

Table of Contents

Start with group categories, create group assignments via assignments, create group assignments via groups (only possible if there is no assignment linked yet).

If your students are working together on an assignment, you can enable group submission(s) by setting up a group assignment. If you have not created groups yet, be sure to read the article " How do I use groups? " before proceeding. 

There are two ways you can create group assignments: 

• Via Assignments : if you have already made the group(s) and/or given them an assignment. 
• Via  Groups : if you want to enable new groups access to assignments. If you have already given an assignment to a group category, you cannot use this option.

If you have many different groups in your course and you want to give each of the groups a different assignment then you must add them to separate Group Categories , because assignments can only be connected to Group Categories and not  to the individual groups within them. If you have not made any groups yet and/or want to add a new Group Category, follow the instructions for How do I create Groups?  (and under Additional Options tick Set up Assignments ). After having done that, you can proceed with the instructions below for how to create Assignments .  

• Navigate to Course Tools in the navbar of your course.
• Click Assignments .
• Click New Assignment . 
• Give the assignment a name: this is the name that will be displayed on the Assignments homepage. Pick a name that clearly shows that it concerns a group assignment. You can provide more information on the assignment with a short instruction in the html-editor.

• Go to the Submission & Completion tab.
• Identify under Assignment Type that it concerns a group assignment ( Group Assignment ).
• Select the Group Category - the set of groups you want to give an assignment to.

Follow further instructions for creating an assignment and adding restrictions  and click Save and Close  (or on Save and New  to create another assignment).

Do not forget to publish the assignment! When an assignment has the status  draft,  students will not be able to see the assignment and therefore cannot submit anything either. You publish an assignment via the Assignment quick-menu , and the More Actions menu on the Assignments homepage.  

• Navigate to Course Tools in the navbar of your course and click on Course Admin . 
• Click Groups .   You will land on the Groups   homepage.
• In this instruction, an assignment is made for an existing  group. If you haven't made any groups yet and/or want to add a new group and want to attach an assignment to it directly, first follow the instruction How do I create Groups? and then the instruction Create Assignments below.

• Use the drop-down menu under  View Categories to select the Group Category to which you want to attach one or multiple assignments ( above you will see that the Group Category "Werkcollege Maanddaggroep" (= Seminar Monday group) has been selected and that it consists of 4 groups: Werkc-ma-1 t/m Werkc-ma-4 ). 
• Click the arrow next to the name of the group and then click  Edit Category .

3. Scroll down and tick Set up assignments  (under Additional Options ). Then identify in the drop-down menu what kind of submission type it concerns ( File submission , Text submission , On paper submission of Observed in person ).

4. Click Save . You will be navigated to the Create Assignments  page.

• Give the assignment a name (preferably pick one that clearly indicates that it concerns a group assignment)
• Under Assignment Type you can see that it is a Group assignment for a certain group and under Submission type you can see that it concerns an assignment for which the groups need to hand in a file in Brightspace to complete it. The settings you have selected for this are automatically filled in. Fill in the rest of the fields as you do when you create an assignment. 
• Click Create when you are done with creating the assignment for the groups within this group category. 
• Click  Add Another if you want to add another assignment ( For example: if you want each group to hand in a new assignment each week, in a separate assignment, you need to add a new assignment for each week ). 

You will now see a summary of the choices you have just made. 

5.    Click Done .

You will land on the Edit - Category  page again. At the bottom of the page you will see the new heading Existing Workspace  and below it the assignments you have created. In the example above, one assignment has been added: Groepsopdracht: Actuele betekenis vier Dada-kunstwerken ( Group assignment: Current meaning four Dadaist works of ar t).

• Set up discussion areas to create a group discussion topic . Note: this way each group will have their own discussion topic to work on together, for example during a group assignment. 
• Set up lockers  to also give the group(s) their own locker : a shared digital place where files are archived. 
• Click (one of) the link(s) to navigate to the content of the assignment(s). 
• Click Save  to return to the page of the group category under Manage Groups .

In the middle column ( Assignment)  you will now see that you have attached an assignment to the group(s). Click the link to view the submitted assignments. If there is a question mark icon instead of a link, it means that a group has not handed in any assignments.  

Do not forget:

• Add students to the groups (if you have indicated you wanted to do that manually when you created the groups). To do so, click the name of the group and then Enroll Users  OR click the arrow next to the name of the group category and then Enroll Users ;
• Publish the assignments, so that they are visible for students and they are able to submit their assignments.

Managing Notifications in Brightspace

This guide will help users manage notifications in Brightspace, ensuring they stay informed about important course activities. Notifications can be customized to suit individual preferences, making it easier to keep track of new announcements, discussions, and other course-related events.

1. Email Notification Defaults

Email notifications from Brightspace are sent to a user’s system email account, that is, their email account that is associated with Brightspace. At CUNY, that will be whichever email account is associated with your @login.cuny.edu single-sign-on account, or your main campus email account, if you are affiliated with multiple campuses. You will want to confirm that you are receiving notifications after adjusting your settings, and you can do that by sending yourself and email from Brightspace.

By default*, the following email notifications are enabled for Brightspace users:

* Note: Instructors may not have the email notification defaults listed below if their accounts were created prior to implementation of these defaults

Announcements: Announcement updated, new announcement available.

Assignments: Assignment due date or end date is 2 days away.

Quizzes: Quiz due date or end date is 2 days away.

2. How to Change Notification Settings

Users can customize their notifications based on their preferences. To access notification settings in Brightspace, click on your profile icon in the top-right corner and select Notifications from the dropdown menu.

On the Notification page, adjust your preferences on the following items:

• Summary of Activity: Click the dropdown menu to set up a daily or weekly summary of your activity within the course and enter your preferred time of receiving the summary.

• Instant Notifications: Click on the checkboxes to choose which notifications you want to receive immediately via email.

• Customize Notifications: 

Include my grade value in notifications from Grades Courses: Check this box if you want your grade values to be included in notifications.

Allow future courses to send me notifications: Check this box to allow notifications from courses you enroll in later.

• Exclude Notifications from Select Classes: At the bottom of the page, you can choose to exclude notifications from specific courses by clicking Manage my course exclusions .

3. New Announcements and Announcement Modifications

Brightspace can notify students when a new announcement is posted or modified, but there’s no feature that allows instructors to push announcements directly to students’ emails from the announcement post itself. To ensure students receive these notifications, instruct them to enable the relevant settings on their Notifications page. You can share this tutorial: Enable Notifications in Announcements with them to assist in this process, and you may also want to place this tutorial in the Getting Started or first module of your course .

4. Discussions You’ve Subscribed To

Stay informed about ongoing conversations in your course by subscribing to discussion threads and receiving notifications for subscribed discussions.

• Navigate to the Discussions area of your course and click on the chevron icon next to the discussion forum or topic that you’d like to subscribe to.
• Select Subscribe from the dropdown menu.

To receive an email notification, you will have to select the Notification Method, Send me an instant notification , when you subscribe to the forum or topic.

After subscribing, ensure you enable the instant notification Discussions – new post in a forum, topic, or thread that I subscribed to in instant notifications . This setting ensures you are notified via email whenever new posts are made in the discussions you’re following.

5. Notifications on the Minibar

The Minibar is located at the top of the Brightspace interface and provides quick access to important notifications. It includes three primary icons:

• Message Alerts (Envelope Icon): This icon notifies you of new messages from students or other Brightspace users. Clicking on it will take you directly to your inbox to view and respond to messages.
• Subscription Alerts (Chat Bubble Icon): This icon alerts you to updates in discussions, assignments, and other activities you’ve subscribed to. Click on the bell icon to view recent activity and manage your subscriptions.
• Update Alerts (Bell Icon): This icon shows updates on course content, such as new announcements, upcoming deadlines, and changes to course materials. Clicking on the flag icon will display a list of recent updates.

6. Understanding Brightspace Email 

It’s important to note that Brightspace’s email system is send-only, meaning there is no inbox within Brightspace to receive emails. Users will only be able to view their “sent” emails within Brightspace.

Using Brightspace Badging Modules

Butler Library has created asynchronous learning modules to assist students with library research methods. All students have access to these research assistance modules and can refer to them at any time. Badges and credits are available for each module so students can display their achievements in their Brightspace profile. As always, librarians are available to meet with students to assist them! In order to earn the badges, students will have to review all content in the module, watch the tutorial videos, and answer quizzes at a passing rate (60% or above). Each module is different and the amount of time to successfully complete a badge will vary by student and by module. Most modules can be completed in less than an hour. 

Current Modules Available: 

APA Modules Badge (15 Brightspace Credits) - APA Formatting & Citations: 

This module is split into three parts. The first part is a basic introduction to APA formatting and citation style. The second part concerns APA reference list citations and how to compile and build a proper reference list. The third and final part addresses in-text citations. These three parts feature a total of 20 quiz questions that you must answer at a passing rate in order to earn the APA Modules Badge.

MS Word & APA Badge   (5 Brightspace Credits) - Using Microsoft Word to Format your APA Paper:

This short module is also an interactive exercise. The tutorial video will walk you through each step to format a MS Word document into a proper APA paper. We will demonstrate MS Word techniques that will assist you with formatting your paper in APA style. These techniques will make your life easier when writing papers. While the interactive exercise is optional for the badge, we highly recommend downloading the MS Word template and following along with the video. You can pause, rewind, and re-watch the video as much as you like. 

ALL-Search ALL-Star Badge   (10 Brightspace Credits) - Introduction to Library Databases & ALL-Search: 

This module is split into two parts. The first part addresses the concept of an academic library database. We will define and examine what a database is and how to locate our subscriptions. The second part will demonstrate how to use our ALL-Search, which aggregates all of our database content into one search. You must pass the final quiz to earn the ALL-Search ALL-Star Badge. 

Scholarly Sources Badge (10 Brightspace Credits) - Scholarly Articles, Peer-Review, and Popular Sources: 

This module is split into two parts. First, we will discuss what popular sources are. Each part features a short tutorial video. The second part will address what a peer-reviewed, scholarly source is. We will also define the anatomy of a typical scholarly article, this will assist you when reading these resources. The final part finishes with a 10 question quiz, which you must pass in order to earn the Scholarly Sources Badge. 

***MORE TO BE ADDED - WILL CREATE UPON REQUEST***

Crediting system in brightspace badging.

Base on length and difficulty, each module has an amount of credits assigned to it. These credits are not official and do not count towards any degree program, minor, or microcredential . We are using this Brightspace feature to give faculty the option to assign an amount of credits instead of specific modules. For example, an instructor could ask students to earn a minimum of 20 credits in Butler Library modules. A student could complete the APA Modules (15 credits) and the MS Word & APA module (5 credits), this would give them a total of 20 credits. As modules continue to be added and created, students will have a wider choice of library concepts and strategies to learn, giving students the option to choose modules based on their research needs and priorities. 

Access the Brightspace Modules

Use the links below to access the Bright space modules within the Butler Library Research Assistance organization. You will be prompted to login to your Brightspace account after clicking the link. 

Frequently Asked Questions from Faculty & Students? 

Why are these brightspace modules being created.

These modules can assist students with library research strategies. The modules can be referenced as many times as the student likes and they can serve as a useful tool and guide. Additionally, they also support online asynchronous programs. Butler Librarians teach over 150 sessions annually to courses teaching students how to research and utilize the academic subscription tools available to them. Online programs do not afford the opportunity for classroom instruction, these modules serve as a replacement for these workshops. 

What is a Brightspace Organization? 

A Brightspace Organization is similar to a course, except it does not go dormant after each semester. The content serves as a reference for faculty and students. Students and faculty can refer to these modules at anytime. These modules do not count as coursework or credit-bearing activities, however, they serve as a guide to assist students with library research strategies through interactive tutorials, documentation, and quizzing. 

What are 'Brightspace Credits' and do they count towards my degree? 

Credits are a way Brightspace can assign a value to each badged module.  These credits DO NOT count towards your graduation  and are not officially recognized. They simply exist to give faculty the option to assign earning a minimum amount of credits in the Butler Library Research Assistance organization instead of assigning a specific module or badge. 

Am I getting charged for being enrolled in another organization?

No. This is not a course and does not add credits to your student audit. 

How do I show and share the badges I've earned?

You can share your earned badges in your profile to make them viewable by your instructor. Directions to do this are located in the Earning & Showing Badges page of this guide. 

How long do these modules take to complete?

Completion times will vary by module and by student. The more content in a module, the higher the amount of credits are earned. Typically, completing the modules successfully can take anywhere between 15 minutes up to an hour for the more in-depth modules. 

Can I make these modules gradable assignments in my course? 

Yes! These modules exist within the Butler Library Organization and they must be taken in the organization to earn a badge. However, we can supply you with a Brightspace export package and we can assist you with importing the modules into your course. Once you have the modules imported into your course, you can connect the quizzes to your gradebook if you choose. 

How often can I access and use these modules?

Students and faculty can access the content in these modules as many times as they like! 

If I fail a quiz can I retake it to earn the badge?

Yes. If you fail at your first attempt you can retake the quiz to earn the badge.  

As a professor, what do I have to do to get my students into these modules? 

You can either direct the students to the Butler Library Research Assistance Modules or use the links provided above. Students will have to login to their Brightspace account to access the content and quizzing.
