LearnPress Assignment Add-on

The plugin lets educators place one or more assignments within course sections, with instructions, deadlines, and grading criteria for each task. Students can submit work as files or enter answers in a rich text editor, giving instructors options for different kinds of assignments.

Educators can set submission windows and attempt limits, define passing grades and maximum points, and review work from the backend. The plugin also supports feedback and grade syncing with the LearnPress gradebook, while submission alerts can notify instructors when students turn in assignments.
