Throughout your course, you may be required to complete various activities. One common activity is the Assignment Activity. In an Assignment Activity, you may be asked to respond through various formats, such as written text, uploaded document, video recording.

An Assignment Activity is displayed with a blue paper-pencil icon. Typically, directions are added at the top of the Assignment Activity. Following the directions, you will find a space for your personal submission.
