Why is the button to turn in an assignment named differently depending on how you get to it?
If the student goes to the assignment from the content then they see the button is named Upload but if they go to the assignment from Course Tools it is named Add a File. We have had students confused by directions to upload their assignment but only seeing Add a File and vice versa.
