Create and assign an online assignment
Who can use this: Teachers and staff with access to the course.
Before you start
Choose a course and prepare the instructions. Only selected eligible current enrolments receive the assignment; later joiners need to be added explicitly.
Create and assign an online assignment
- Create an assignment with its title, instructions, opening date, due date and closing date. Choose text, files or both, and the allowed attempts.
- Set any gradebook maximum mark, weight and category. Save, then add supporting attachments as needed.
- Review the assignment and publish to all eligible enrolled students or choose the intended students. Check the assigned-student list afterwards.
What happens next
Assigned students can start the published work during their effective availability window.
Troubleshooting
A due date and a closing date serve different purposes. Check each student’s overrides when dates differ. File submissions allow one to five files and assignment attempts are limited to the configured allowance.
