OVERVIEW

Assignments allow you to collect and evaluate learners' work. Learners can submit their work for grading in the form of either text typed online or uploaded files.
USE CASE EXAMPLE:

Assignments within a Learning Management System (LMS) used for internal staff training are a fundamental component for assessing employees' understanding of training materials and their ability to apply that knowledge to real-world tasks. Here's a use case example of how assignments can be effectively used in such a system:

Use Case: Compliance Training Assessment

A multinational corporation is required to ensure that all its employees are well-versed in the company's compliance policies and procedures. The HR department utilizes an LMS to deliver and manage compliance training modules.
