When students cannot submit a paper or take a quiz or an exam in a traditional physical classroom, instructors will need to move these activities online.
Note: If you are concerned about unsanctioned collaboration, plagiarism or cheating, start with these two guidance documents: /wiki/spaces/LKB/pages/98795814and Online Assessment Best Practices, including methods for promoting academic integrity during online testing
Creating quizzes or exams:
First Steps: Use Course Site Quizzes, a robust quiz feature that allows you to create a variety of different types of quizzes (e.g., multiple choice, essay, etc).
Other options:
Some textbooks offer online quizzes and exams that integrate with Course Site. Check with your publisher to see if this is available to you.
To promote academic integrity during your exams, we recommend you start with /wiki/spaces/LKB/pages/98795814 and then, for exams and quizzes, follow the Online Assessment Best Practices document, which explains how you can set up quizzes in a way that diminishes the likelihood that students will violate academic integrity policies.

Assigning essays and papers
First Steps: Set up a Course Site Assignment or Google Assignment in Course Site to collect student essays/papers. Both allow you to assign, collect and give feedback on student papers.
Other options:
If you have questions related to designing effective assignments in an online context, consult the director of Lehigh's Writing Across the Curriculum program, the Digital Scholarship project manager, or your subject librarian.
If you want student work analyzed to affirm academic integrity, we recommend you start with /wiki/spaces/LKB/pages/98795814, then read On the Effective Use of Turnitin and then set up a Turnitin Assignment or Google Assignment in Course Site in Course Site to collect student essays/papers. Turnitin creates a Similarity Score for each submitted paper and highlights potentially unoriginal text. Also, Grademark is a feature built into Turnitin that allows you to comment directly on student papers, give overall comments, record voice comments, and create rubrics for quick, focused feedback.
