You can attach various materials to an assignment, either for reference or to enhance learning. Adding supplementary resources like articles, videos, and interactive tools can provide students with a deeper understanding of the subject matter. For example, including links to online databases or digital libraries allows students to explore topics further and develop their research skills. Additionally, embedding multimedia content such as instructional videos or podcasts can cater to different learning styles and keep students engaged. By incorporating these materials, educators can create a more dynamic and resource-rich learning environment that supports diverse educational needs.
All of these options are available when creating an assignment.
