For any assignment, make sure to:

• find out where the submission point is far in advance of the deadline.
• submit assignments on a computer. Don't submit assignments on a mobile device.
• read the guidelines carefully - check the deadline, file type requirements and other information so you know what you need to do.
• anonymise your work appropriately (see our specific guide on how to do this).

These guides are relevant to most assessment submissions via the VLE:

Ultra Assignments:

• are usually used for digital written work (ie. typed), but can also be scans of handwritten work, slides etc.
• are mostly used for Formative assignments (useful for developmental feedback on your work), but can be used for non-anonymous Summative assignments (count for a grade).
• can be used for individual and group assessments
• usually have an that icon looks like a cartoon checklist with a black outline.

Make sure that you make note of any specific instructions from your department, eg. which file type to use, if you can/should upload multiple files, file orientation etc.

See the demonstration video and detailed written guide below for instructions on how to submit your work.
