Can students complete Assignments on the app

Hello,

I'm a new instructor and still gaining understanding of what both ends look like

One of my students messaged me to tell me that the Assignment in the course I have as homework for them can only be completed on a desktop or laptop.

Is there a way for students to be able to complete the assignments from the app?

The assignments are simple one answer questions of reflection.

    Hi @JoshSeiler875
    , welcome to our community!

    Currently, assignments are not supported on the Udemy mobile app. Students can take and complete assignments by opening the lecture on a desktop or laptop computer.

    We truly understand this might be inconvenient, however, a workaround would be to ask the student to access https://www.udemy.com/ from a web browser (such as Google Chrome) on their mobile and put their browser on the Desktop version to access the assignment with no problems.

    this is a very well known unresolved issue that can really upset and anger students.

    What I do is now place the assignment as a text lecture above the assignment and let them know they can post their answer for feedback in the Q&A - that has lowered the irritation rate. Plus in the first lecture, I explain to them that the App does not have this feature available and my workaround. Hope this helps.

    many students report to me that they struggle to access and use the browser on their mobile devices.

  • This makes sense. Thank you

  • Testing this out

  • This seems to be working great! Thank you.
