How do I annotate a file as an assignment submission using Assignment Enhancements?

[#1]

Your instructor may upload a file for you to annotate as your assignment submission. You can annotate the file and submit it as your assignment submission using Assignment Enhancements.

Notes:

• If the assignment you are accessing displays differently, Assignment Enhancements may not be enabled in your course or your instructor may not have used a supported assignment type. Please view this guide for more information.
• For instruction on completing an assignment, view the assignment details or contact your instructor for assistance.
• Group assignments do not support the student annotation submission type.

Open Assignments

In Course Navigation, click the Assignments link.

Open Assignment

Click the title of the assignment.

Select Submission Type

Your instructor may specify which submission types are appropriate for each assignment.

In the Choose a submission type section [1], click the Annotation button [2].

If your instructor only allows Annotation submissions, DocViewer may display in place of the Choose a submission type section.

Notes: 

• If the Annotation option does not display in the Choose a submission type section, your instructor has restricted this submission type.
• Not all of your assignments may be submitted online. If you cannot see options to submit your work, your instructor may want you to submit your assignment in a different way or the assignment is not within its availability dates. View the assignment header and details for instructions, or contact your instructor for assistance.
