Assignment activity: An assignment activity in a course, in which learners are required to submit digital content based on the instructions provided. The submission is then assessed by a trainer. This content could be an essay in word-processed document, a spreadsheet, or multimedia files.

Task assignments: Users may be assigned to a task, such as completing a program or certification, or participating in a performance activity. In this case assignments are the users who are assigned to those items. These assignments don't necessarily relate to specify tasks, for example users may be associated with competencies relating to their role.
