Students can open the document, make changes per the assignment instructions, and submit the edited template as their submission
via the Quercus assignment page. Instructors can view each student’s submission in SpeedGrader for grading.NOTE: Cloud assignments cannot be used for group assignments.

.The accepted file types are Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Excel, and PDF.
NOTE: Students can only submit one Office 365 file for their submission.
