Creating a Video Submission Folder for your ICON Assignment

An assignment folder is a subfolder that shares a user list with its parent folder. Those with Viewer access to the parent folder can record and upload videos to the assignment folder. Students will only have the ability to see/edit their own submissions unless you configure the folder to allow for that.
