The Assignments tool in D2L is a place students can submit their assignment documents (pretty much any format), or embed video and audio, and instructors can view, download, grade, and give feedback on those assignments. In addition, assignments can be connected directly to the Grades tool in D2L. Here is some information on using the Assignments tool in D2L. Tutorials for students related to the Assignments tool specifically are at the bottom of this page, and also on the D2L for Students page.
