Assignment type	Description
Courseware Assignment	Courseware assignments are interactive lessons that may include games, tests or other interactive content.
Discussion Assignment	NexPort Campus provides you with the ability to discuss topics with your instructor or other students through the discussion board. The discussion board allows you to create discussion topics and comment back and forth to each other. This is similar to email, but the discussion board is viewable to everyone enrolled in the section and stores all conversations.
Media Assignment	Media assignments may include video, images, documents or audio. For videos and audio NexPort will remember the last location you viewed. Your instructor may require you to view an entire video before you can move to the next assignment.
Student Input Assignment	Student input assignment includes a template of custom profile or enrollment field inputs for the student to fill in. Instructors can ask you to resubmit input assignments as many times as required or they can set the assignment to be graded automatically. This type of assignment calls for you to enter data through a date picker, text box or check box.
