Create an Online Text Assignment

Q. 

How do I create an assignment that lets the student type directly into Tlearn? I don't want the student to upload a doc but enter text, can I do that?

A.
The Submission type Online text provides the student with an editor to type directly into Tlearn. The advantage of using the Online text is that it is quick for the student to get started and no need to use a word processing program. However, always be cautious about your internet connection. If the internet goes down, the work students have typed in and not saved might be lost. Consider having the student type their submission on Word and then copy/paste into the Online text editor.
