In the previous chapters, you have learned how to use the Announcement and Question posts. In this chapter, you will learn the final post type: the Assignment post. This post allows you to assign documents stored in Google Drive, have students turn in the assignments, and then grade the assignments. This chapter will focus on how to assign and take in assignments because the grading process is similar to grading a Question post. However, there are some additional features available when grading assignments rather than questions, which the next chapter will explore. Furthermore, this question type heavily incorporates Google Docs and Google Drive, two additional apps in GAFE suite.
In this chapter, we will explore the following topics:
Components of an Assignment post
Sharing files in assignments
Viewing files in Google Classroom and Google Drive
How students turn in assignments
How students add additional files to assignments
