| ** Known Issue: Namecoach Recorder does not work using the Safari browser. |
| Note: At this point, Namecoach will not automatically submit a grade when your student records their name. You must make this a graded assignment for the External Tool option to appear under "Submission Type." Instructors and Graduate TAs will have to enter grades manually using the Grades tool. Additionally. enable the "Do not count this assignment towards the final grade" option to exclude the assignment from the Grades tool. |
