Off-line Assessment (OLA) is a built-in assessment route within Learning Platform. The OLA routine creates a space in the Learning Log where you can record marks and comments which the student will be able to read later. Use it whenever you want the student to return a piece of work to you physically, on paper into your hand.

First you need to create the instructions using: PIM>MyCourse>Tutor>Content>Structure>Assessments>Off-line Assessment>Add Assessment

You may wish to include in the instructions:

• Details of what to do
