LearnPress Assignment Add-on

Online courses often need more than lessons and quizzes. Instructors want students to hand in written work, documents or projects, then receive a grade and feedback. This add-on brings that step into LearnPress, so assignments sit inside the course structure and not in a separate system of email threads and shared folders.

You can place one or several assignments anywhere in a course, set deadlines and retake limits, and write detailed instructions. Students submit files or type into a rich text editor. Instructors then review the work in the backend, give scores and feedback, and see grades appear in the LearnPress gradebook. It fits any LearnPress site that wants a structured way to assess practical work.

Features

• Flexible assignment placement: Add one or many assignments anywhere in your course structure, so each task lines up with the lessons and goals of that section.
• File and text submissions: Students can upload files such as PDF, DOC, ZIP and images, or write their answer in a built-in rich text editor.
• Deadlines and retake limits: Set a submission window for each assignment and control how many attempts a student is allowed.
• Instructions and character limits: Give students clear guidelines for each task, including character limits, so they know what is expected before they submit.
• Grading and feedback tools: Manage grades and write personal feedback from the backend. Scores sync to the LearnPress gradebook.
• Passing grade and maximum points: Define the passing criteria and the maximum score for each assignment so evaluation and progress tracking stay consistent.
• File type and size control: Choose which file formats students may upload and set upload size limits to keep submissions standardized.
• Instructor email notifications: Instructors receive an alert when a student submits an assignment, which makes it easier to review work promptly.
