📖 Submitting Assignments

All assignments must be submitted in the Dallas College eLearning website currently known as eCampus (Brightspace). Some assignments may require an assignment artifact (document or file) to be attached or explanation of how you completed the task, while others will only require a link to an online resource. Read and follow the instructions in the assignment carefully. When you have completed your assignment, go to eCampus to submit your assignment.

  1. Click on the title link at the top of the assignment.
  2. In the Comments box, enter the URL (site link) for the page(s) you want graded.
  3. Add any pertinent information you want your instructor to know to help them grade your assignment.
  4. Add any attachments required for the assignment.
  5. Click the Submit button.

Assignment URLs

Most assignments for web classes require a URL (link) to the page(s) you want graded. A link to a GitHub repo would look like this: https://github.com/bhc-webdev/demo. Notice the URL domain is github.com the top level directory (bhc-webdev) is the username I set up when I registered for my GitHub account. The last part of the URL path (demo) is the repo name. This will take you to the demo repo for the bhc-webdev account on github.com.

GitHub repo URL

If I create a GitHub pages from a repo, the page is hosted at a different URL. The domain for GitHub pages includes a sub-domain in the URL. For example, the GitHub demo repo above has been used to create a GitHub pages and the URL to the GitHub pages is https://bhc-webdev.github.io/demo/test.html. Notice the top level domain (TLD) is github.io and the sub-domain is the account username prepended to the TLD. Then the directory for the repo and lastly, the filename of the HTML page being requested. If the repo had an index file, the filename here could be omitted and the index.html page would be returned from the server.

GitHub Pages URL

Links to your assignment pages should start with https:// and include the domain, sub-domain, path and any filenames like index.html or test.html as shown above. The best way to get a fully qualified URL is to visit the page in a browser and copy the URL from the address bar in the browser to submit for your assignment. You should have already validated these pages look correctly before submitting your assignment anyway because some pages do not render properly after being moved to another server and I will always grade the server version of your site, not your local copy.

NOTE: If your link begins with ftp:// or file:///C: or includes @AvatarName, you are not sending a valid internet link.

Submit Your Assignment

Your assignment isn't complete until you follow the submission procedure. Instructors have no way of knowing you are finished with the assignment and need it to be graded without you submitting it. This will let your instructor know that you have submitted the assignment.
