Written assignments, eg. essays, reports, case studies, etc. will be submitted online in the relevant subject site.  There will be a submission spot for each assignment. 

 

This is the assignment submission icon:  

Lecturers have different ways of naming assignments; some name it the same as in the Unit Description; others name it, eg. Assignment 1; others, eg. Assessment 1, Assessment Task 1; some put the due date in the name.   But the icon is always the same (unless it is a Quiz or a Lesson - see more on these, below the video on this page).  If it is not clear from the name at the submission spot which assignment it is, please ask your lecturer to make it clearer.

To submit a quiz

  1. Undertake the quiz, or the lesson, and when you have completed this, and are happy with it click Submit all and finish.
  2. Quizzes come as pop-up windows.  When you attempt to start a quiz, your browser may prompt you to allow pop-ups, as some browsers block all pop-ups by default.
  3. Quizzes often have a time limit.  If the quiz has been set up correctly, and if the student does not complete the quiz in the given time, the quiz is automatically submitted with the answers that have been completed.
  4. If a quiz is timed, there will be a timer on the right hand side, showing how much time is left.  This timer cannot be paused, so make sure you have an uninterrupted time to do the quiz; that you don't answer your phone, etc. 
  5. New students are encouraged to do the practice quiz in the Introduction to Tabor Online preparatory site so they know how quizzes work on Tabor Online.
