How to Create Assignments For Your Course

The assignments feature provides instructors with a comprehensive way for students to apply the knowledge and skills they’ve gained in your course. With assignments, instructors can create various questions for students to answer regarding the course concepts. In addition, instructors can upload instructions and solutions in video format, and provide feedback on the completed assignments students submit. 

After students complete the assignment, they can compare their work with the instructor’s solutions, and receive feedback from their fellow students if they wish.

This article outlines how you can create assignments for your course, and in doing so, connect your students' new skills and knowledge with a real-world application. 

Creating an Assignment 

1. Navigate to the Curriculum page in your course management tools.

2. On the side, hover your cursor over the grey space within a section, where you want the assignment to be placed.

3. Click the + icon that appears and then Assignment. to begin creating the assignment.

The instructions should describe the activity, the purpose of the assignment, what your students need to do, and list any materials that are needed to complete it.  You can also upload any downloadable resources here that students can use to complete the assignment.
