Assignment types provide different assessment options to determine who will initiate and complete a submitted asset; a learner, an assessor, or both people.

Learner initiated

A learner initiates the submission by sharing assets to an ATLAS workspace to demonstrate their skills, knowledge or behaviours. If required, this is restricted to:

• quantity of assets - one, a set number (e.g. 5), or unlimited
• asset type - one only (e.g workbook), a selection, or any asset type

To view:

1. A learner must share with ATLAS
2. An assessor can only view their submission after an asset has been shared.

A workspace manager controls the assignment settings in a workspace.

Assessor initiated

An assessor initiates the submission using a structured feedback template to provide assessment for a learner's performance or presentation.

To initiate:

1. From the submission list in the workspace, select the correct assignment.
2. Scroll to the learner's name, and click Generate submission.
3. The feedback template will open a new window in submission viewer
4. Add feedback and add a grade, where required. 
5. When complete, release the page to the learner.

An assessor can only generate one submission per learner.

A workspace manager must set up the assignment, including attaching a feedback template.

Combined initiation

A submission can be initiated by either: 

• a learner - who can share for ATLAS in the usual way, or
• an assessor - who can generate an asset as an assessor-initiated submission

Where an assessor creates the asset, this is made available to the learner in their Asset Store.

To initiate:

1. From the submission list in the workspace, select the correct assignment.
2. Scroll to the learner's name, and click Generate submission.
3. The asset (submission) will open a new window in submission viewer
4. Assessors can add feedback, including complete assessor fields.

The assignment settings control the number of submissions per learner, with unlimited an option.

A workspace manager must set up the assignment, including attaching a resource (template or workbook) for the submission.
