How to enable file uploads for assignment quizzes in Blended Teaching

Instructions in how to enable file uploads for assignment quizzes in Blended Teaching, and troubleshoot related issues?


Blended Teaching allows instructors to configure assignment quizzes to accept file uploads, enabling students to submit their work easily. This article explains how to enable the file upload feature and provides troubleshooting tips for scenarios where students face issues with uploads.


1. Enabling File Uploads for Assignment Quizzes

To allow students to upload files for an assignment quiz in Blended Teaching, follow these steps:

  1. Access the Assignment Quiz Settings: - Open the Control Center in Blended Teaching. - Go to the Assessments tab, click the assignment’s name, and stay on the Setup tab.

  2. Enable File Uploads: - Click Uploads in the left-hand menu. - Check the "Allow file uploads" option to activate this feature.

  3. Save Changes: - After checking the file-upload option, click Save setup to apply the changes. Students will now see the upload option when completing the assignment quiz.


2. Troubleshooting File Upload Issues

In some cases, students might still be unable to upload files even after enabling the file-upload feature. Below are common reasons and fixes:

  • Students Who Submitted Before You Enabled Uploads: - These students can still upload. Once uploads are allowed, any student who has submitted answers sees Upload your work on their Grades page until a file is saved, and the upload panel also appears on their results page. - Each student has one current file for the assessment, even with several attempts, so they do not need a new attempt to upload.
