File upload: enhanced question type

Use the File Upload question type to allow students to include files in their submissions and to support students with accommodations or any kind of learning need.

To review images and audio/video files uploaded to questions, you must add the following domains to your network's Allowed list:

  • *.learnosity.com

  • s3.amazonaws.com/assets.learnosity.com

  • s3.amazonaws.com/learnositymediaprocessed

If your organization has a policy that prevents you from using a wildcard, download the full list of URLs that need to be added to the Allowed list. If you are unable to review media content, reach out to the Support Contact at your organization to confirm these URLs have been added to the Allowed list.
