Info

In 2011, IS&T began a community-driven process of re-architecting familiar tools and functionality within Stellar as feature-rich, robust modular service components. All modules are comprehensively beta tested with the MIT community prior to final release in order to ensure delivery of the best possible user experience.

UPDATE: The previously scheduled 2016-17 community rollout of the full LMOD platform with the intent to replace Stellar will be postponed to review existing functionality and bolster performance. For information, please visit the IS&T Course Management FAQ.

Homework Submission support in Gradebook

Starting in the Summer 2015 term, the Gradebook Module will include support for Homework/Assignment submissions. This new feature will obviate the need for instructors or administrators using the Stellar legacy system to maintain separate tools for collecting online submissions and grading, as assignment creation and assignment submission capabilities will be integrated into the existing the Gradebook Module. Works best in parallel with the Calendar Module.
