Video Assignment is an asynchronous video assessment technology. When set-up, students can create or upload brief videos to a specific Video Assignment. If peer review is turned on, students and instructors can watch and respond to others' videos with a text or a video. The comment is then stored or stamped at a specific time in the video creating an asynchronous discussion.

Bongo is the company that created the Video Assignment technology. Minnesota State University, Mankato has a limited use license for the Bongo Video Assignment integration through D2L Brightspace.
