Published Tab: The "published" tab will display any assignments shared to the entire class by the instructor or an individual student. (This is where you may find student profiles, if your instructor sets them up as assignments.)

Some assignments will include a "Grading Form"
If you see a link to a grading form, be sure to view it to see how your work will be scored. A grading form can be a valuable tool to help you to understand exactly what the instructor expects to see.
3. Assignments can submitted one of two ways. Make sure you know which method your instructor prefers.
Option 1:Type your assignment right on the screen. If you use this option, you can apply additional formating to your assignment by using the Enable HTML Creator button.
The HTML Creator looks very much like a word processor. Use it to change your font style, size, color, etc. You can also insert bullets, tables and images, if you wish. Spell check is available in this screen.
Option 2:Many instructors will prefer that you create and submit a Word document to complete your assignments. To submit a word document for an assignment, simply click the "Add Attachments " button, use the My Computer button to navigate to where your file is located, select, and attach the file.
