Activating Assignments

During a placement, your program may require students to upload specific assignments (weekly goals, reflections, presentations, etc.). This can be achieved with via Assignments. Assignments can easily be created and used time and time again. 

1. Select Courses from your dashboard or left menu.
   
   

2. On the Course Offerings page, find and select the course you’d like to manage. 
   
   

3. Expand the Learning Activities option on the left panel and select Setup.
   
   

4. The system will load all learning activities and will indicate any that are activated. Click on the + icon within the Forms/Evaluations card. 
   
   

5. A drawer will open. If your program has previously created an assignment, find, and click the arrow for the existing assignment. If the assignment is not listed, click on the arrow for Add Assignment. 
   
   

6. If you selected an existing assignment, the system will show you any presets your program has selected for this assignment. Carefully review the selections and set the assignment as active. Click Save once done. 
   
   
7. If you are adding a new assignment: provide a title, description and set the assignment as Active. 
8. If this assignment will apply to other course offerings, set Is this assignment applicable for other course offerings in the program as well? to yes. 
   
   
9. Decide if your assignment will be scored by selecting yes or no. 
   
   
10. You will then decide when the form is published (visible to students), and when it will be due. 
    
    a. Our system assigns publish and due dates using anchors. 
    b. Example: If you’d like students to see their assignment one month before their placement begins, set it to 30 days before placement start date. 
    c. If the assignment is due on week 1, set it to 7 days after placement start date.
