Course Activities: All About Assignments

For assistance considering ways of modifying course content and assessments for alternate modes of delivery, contact Stacy Evans (sevans@berkshirecc.edu), Faculty Lead for the Center for Teaching and Learning Innovation, or Lauren Goodman (lgoodman@berkshirecc.edu), Dean of Teaching and Learning Innovation.

Collecting assignments during a campus closure is fairly straightforward and many instructors already collect work electronically. It may seem easy to collect assignments via email, but it can quickly swamp your email inbox, and can be difficult for you and your students to keep track of.

We strongly suggest using the Assignment or Turnitin Assignment activities in Moodle.

Set clear deadlines and expectations for your online assignments but be aware that during campus closures some students will have difficulties meeting deadlines. Be ready to provide more flexibility than you normally would in your class.
