If your instructor has allowed a text entry assignment submission, you can type or copy and paste text as an assignment submission using your iOS device. Once you submit your assignment, you can verify your assignment submission. You can also resubmit assignments if your instructor allows.
The images in this lesson are shown for a phone display, but unless otherwise noted, tablet displays mirror the same steps.
