Completing an Assignment in Blackboard, Canvas, D2L, Sakai, or Moodle

Note(s): Although this Quick Guide will refer to Assignments, all steps also apply to Projects. Also, please avoid using Tk20 in multiple tabs and have it open only in one tab/browser at a time. Additionally, refrain from using the back button, as this may cause your session to time out and your work may not be saved. To have the best experience and ensure that your data is safely stored, please use only one tab when accessing Tk20.
