attachments using the functions in the content editor. Attachments you add using the content editor can
be launched in a new window and have alternate text added to describe the attachment. Be sure to
remind students to attach any required files to the assignment before clicking Submit. Inform students
that their assignments are not completed until they are submitted. You might also tell them that they
must contact you if they submit the wrong file, forget to attach a file, or have any other problems so
that you can reset the assignment attempt.
6. Optionally, in the Assignment Files section, attach a file using Browse My Computer, Browse
Course, or Browse Content Collection. Type a Link Name. This name appears in the course

attempt for the score by editing the column in the Grade Center.
11. For Limit Availability, you can set the assignment to display on a specific date and time and stop
displaying on a specific date and time. Select the Display After and Display Until check boxes to
