Two types of assignments in eAcademy™ include Online text and File submissions. Your teacher can use either of these types of assignments or both at the same time.
Online text: Online text assignments allow you to type or copy/paste your answers into a text box. Besides text, you can insert audio, video, photos, or links to files directly into the text box and then submit the answers. Online text assignments might be used for answers to worksheets, short answers, essays, and journals.
File submissions: With File submissions, you upload one or more files in response to the assignment instructions. Some of the files you can upload include PDFs, Word documents, or Text documents.
