PDF assessments (FLOWassign)
IMPORTANT: When converting your document(s) into a PDF, you should NOT use a third party or online PDF converter as this can prevent you from successfully uploading your file and, in extreme cases, result in a non-submission.
FLOWassign type flows are commonly used for assessments where you are expected to submit an essay or written report.
Upload a single PDF file (maximum file size 200MB) as your main submission
If permitted, you may upload appendix material of any file type (up to 5GB, including your main PDF file)

Assessments without an online submission (FLOWattend)
Used when a submission is not required in WISEflow so that feedback and grades can still be provided online (e.g. performance, practical or attendance based assessments, oral presentations, OSCEs, etc.)
You do not need to submit anything to FLOWattend type flows and will only use them to access your grade and/ or feedback at a later date. See Accessing Grades and Feedback for more information.
