## What this block does
A File Upload Activity lets students submit files in response to your instructions. Use it for a report, a project artifact, or work created outside the lesson editor.

## How to use it
1. In lesson Edit mode, type **/** and insert **File Upload Activity**.
2. Describe the required files and what students should include.
3. Configure the available multi-file and file-size limits for the task.
4. Add a rubric and set the points and supported grading criteria.
5. Preview the learner upload controls and test a representative file before publishing.

## Example
Ask students to upload a lab report and the data file used to create its chart. State the expected filenames or formats in the instructions so students know what to prepare.

## Grading and feedback
Use [rubrics](https://www.curacourse.com/help/rubrics) to assess the submitted work. A successful upload alone does not demonstrate that the work meets the learning goal. For an upload failure, check the configured limits and retry with a supported file; include the exact error when contacting support.
