You can create assessments that appear on the Course Content page that don't require students to upload submissions. You can add instructions, files, a rubric, and goals so students can prepare for the offline work. You can also enable conversations, but you can't add questions or grade anonymously.
Examples of offline work:
- Oral presentations
- Acting performances
- Artwork delivered in person
- Face-to-face team building exercises, panel discussions, and debates
For example, you can use a rubric to grade an in-class presentation as a student presents. No need to take notes or add a score later.

Instructors also have the option to manually create gradebook columns. However, an offline assignment gives allows instructors the option to provide assignment details and use the same feedback options for Ultra assignments that are submitted online, including using a rubric to grade the assignment. |

If you create groups to collect submissions offline, students can view their group members. For submissions collected offline, you can't allow multiple attempts, allow a time limit, or use SafeAssign.

Students can view the assessment alongside other content on the Course Content page and on their global and course grades pages. Students are informed they can't submit work online. They can access other information, such as the instructions and a rubric if you added one. Students can participate in the assessment's conversations if enabled.
