How do I add a comment to a submission as a student?

You can add comments to a submission by opening an assignment from the Grades page. You can add text comments, media comments, or attach files. You may also be able to add emojis. 

 When adding a media comment, you can record or upload media. You can record media for any length of time, but shorter media recordings are recommended. If your media is longer than 15 minutes, you may want to consider recording and uploading using an external provider. Longer media recordings require more time to render and may be interrupted without a stable internet connection. 

 Notes:  

 

 

 

 The Safari browser does not support recording media. Please use Chrome or Firefox to record media comments. 

 Recorded media files are stored in the Uploaded Media folder of your User Files. Learn how to  view your user files .
