Assignments
The ‘Assignments’ feature in Alston Digital allows teachers to create, give out, collect back, grade, and then report the assignment grades to students. Once an assignment is published for a specific class(es), the students in those class(es) will be notified and they can submit the assignment on the same platform.
The teacher can download the submitted assignments, grade them and publish the grade along with feedback to the students. The students can also view the published results and review teachers’ feedback regarding their work.
As a Teacher, you can create four different types of Assignments on Alston Digital. Here’s an overview of each type:
1. Normal Assignment
Normal Assignments are general assignments where teachers can create their own questions or attach separate question files.
2. Self-Grading Assignment
Self-grading Assignments consist of Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ)s Testpapers. The scores for these Assignments are auto-generated, providing immediate scores to the Students.
3. Normal Testpaper Assignment
