The Academic Toolbox helps you...
The tools in your Quercus Academic Toolbox can assist with your course delivery by Organizing Content, helping you Connect and communicate with your students, Assessing student work and providing feedback, and allowing you to Teach from a distance.
Typical Course Format?
Most tools in the Academic Toolbox can assist in both online and face-to-face courses. Many tools can provide benefits in either synchronous or asynchronous teaching. Some tools have been primarily designed for one format or another (synchronous/asynchronous), however, may be adapted for any format depending on your pedagogical goals.
To learn more about different teaching modalities, please consult our Online Teaching & Learning page, arrange a consultation with a CTSI Teaching Liason, or contact your Divisional support representative.

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.
File Upload Assignments
Instructors can also continue to create regular file upload assignments. When an instructor allows file uploads, students can view the Office 365 tab and upload files directly from their OneDrive
.

NOTE: Students can only submit one Office 365 file for their submission.
NOTE: When Office 365 files are uploaded as a submission, later changes made to the file in student’s OneDrive will not be updated in the submission.
