An important type of training material, often found in courses in the FLPPS LMS, is called an Assignment. Whether you want students to write a short response, an extended essay, or do an art project, the Assignment allows users to upload a document, record their screen, or even link a video to the LMS. 

Another way you might encounter an Assignment in the LMS is when you assign training from an external partner in the FLPPS LMS. After users have taken their training on the external platform, they will submit a copy of their certificate to be approved. Here is how to view and Approve or Reject those certificates.
