How to create an Unicheck assignment
Unicheck is a similarity tool that can be used by Lecturers and Students too. Lecturers can create Unicheck assignments by using the Brightspace Assignments tool. This facilitates the management and revision of students' submissions. Consequently, students can use the assignments tool to upload and submit assignments directly in the Brightspace Learning Environment, eliminating the need to email their work to lecturers.
This manual will explain how to:
-
Create an Unicheck assignment
- How to Name the assignment
- How to Instruct students about Unicheck
- Add Unicheck Learning Tool
- Set up Submission, Completion and Categorization of an Unicheck assignment
- Set up Evaluation and Feedback of an Unicheck assignment
Once an Assignment has submissions, it is no longer possible to change the assignment type (individual or group)!
