Assignments: Submitting & Grading

Assignments are course content items with a grade, pass grade, deadline, and limited attempts. Students submit answers with attachments; instructors review and grade them.

Student Instructor
⚠ Feature switch: assignments only work when the admin has enabled the Assignments feature (webinar_assignment_status in Admin → Settings → General → Features). While it's off, assignment pages show "Access Not Allowed" — which is the current state on the live site.
