How to create an Assignment
From the Course Content page, select the plus sign wherever you want to add an assignment. In the menu, select Create to open the Create Item panel and select Assignment. When you create an assignment, a gradebook item is created automatically.
New Assignment Page
After creating an assignment you will be able to edit that assignment. Enter a descriptive title so students can easily find the assignment among your course content. On the Course Content page, the title appears as the link students select to view the materials. If you don’t add a title, “New Assignment” and the date appear in the content list. If you don’t add content, the assignment won’t appear on the Course Content page.
Add Assignment instructions, content, and adjust settings
- Under Instructions, enter the Instructions and content for the assignment.
- You can drag and drop files from your local device or use the insert content button to access a menu for course content types.
- Due date and other settings can be adjusted on the right side of the page.
