This presentation on Manhattans Assignments
module assumes you have already learned about the
Discussion groups and the Post Office.
The techniques for sending and reading files and
attachments have been covered in more detail in
those presentations.

The Assignments module is an organized way for
the teacher to assign work to the students, for
students to submit work back to the teacher, and
for the teacher to respond with feedback to that
work.

Here, messages are seen only by you and
your teacher. Only the teacher can start a new
topic. (The topics are the actual assignments.)
Here,messages are seen by everyone in the
class. Anyone can start a new Topic.
The Assignments module works just like the Class
Discussion module except for the differences
noted above.

Manhattan messages are more reliable than normal
e-mail messages.

file, then so can your teacher. Guaranteed.
