No, all Assignments needs to be submitted through the school LMS.
Why?
To protect Bari / All Star Teaching in case grades are questioned. If all work is submitted in the LMS, any of us can go back later if a question comes from the school or student about why a grade was given or if there are grade appeals after the class ends. When a student submits via email, you have no way of uploading that assignment to the LMS and if there are questions. We handle too many schools to remember that one individual student emailed an assignment 5 weeks ago.
Simply, it is a requirement at most schools. For reasons listed above and other legal and accreditation reasons, most schools require faculty members to conduct all aspects of their course through the school LMS.
FYI...
Assignment settings are built to help make this issue easier for you to handle. Assignments in all classes built internally (by Garrett) allow students to submit multiple drafts of an assignment. This is done because of situations where a student needs to make more than one submission of an assignment. Perhaps they uploaded an incorrect file, a draft instead of a final copy, or any other reason. Allowing multiple uploads keeps an instructor from having to manually change assignment settings each time a student needs to re-upload an assignment. Many classes built by the schools are similar in their assignment settings. If they aren't, we typically have the option of manually changing a setting to allow a student to upload a second submission to the LMS. If this is necessary, reach out to Garrett if you don't know how to do this.
What do I tell a student if they email me an assignment? The best way to handle this, is to tell the student that to be able to grade their work you need to have it submitted in the LMS. Tell them that if they aren't able to do so, that they should send a screenshot of the error - that gives you the info you need to troubleshoot a solution. If you are unable to resolve the situation personally, reach out to Garrett and he can help.
