Create an Assignment

 

In a Summer Course, create an Assignment and name it.

  • Click Assignments on the Left Menu
  • Click the +Assignment
  • Give your Assignment a name and click Add Assignment

 

 Add information and directions to your Assignment.

 

Adjust your Assignment Settings for who sees it and when as well as how the student response will be submitted.

 

Publish the Assignment for others to see it.  

 

Assignments serve as “Two-Way” communication between Teachers and Students.  Teachers can present information and students can respond.  Teachers can also provide written, audio, or video feedback on submitted Assignments. Making the feedback personal can have a huge impact on a student’s motivation to continue to improve.
