Trouble Uploading Assignments
If you are having trouble uploading your assignments (such as getting errors when uploading), try these steps to fix the issue:
1. Reduce the size of pictures in the document. Training can be found here.
2. Reduce the size of media (audio and video) files in the file. Training can be found here.
3. Put the file into a .zip file, as the file size limit for .zip files is larger than some other file types.
