Create and Publish Assignments

An assignment makes a quiz available to students in a particular class and controls its availability, attempts, scoring, and solution access.

Create an assignment

  1. Open Main Menu and select Assignments.
  2. Choose the class from the Classes menu.
  3. Select New Assignment.
  4. Enter an assignment name.
  5. Choose a quiz from the Quiz menu.
  6. Set the opening and due dates.
  7. Choose when solutions should be available: Never, After Complete, After Submit, or After Graded.
  8. Choose whether to allow late submissions and multiple attempts.
  9. If multiple attempts are allowed, choose whether the assignment uses the highest, most recent, or average score.
  10. Select Save and Publish.

Selecting Save instead preserves the assignment without making it available to students.

Solution timing

  • After Submit makes solutions available after the student submits an assignment attempt, even if the student has attempts remaining.
  • After Complete makes solutions available only after the student has used all available attempts.

Use After Complete when students should complete every permitted attempt before seeing the solutions.

Share the assignment

Select the published assignment in the Assignments window, then select Copy Link. Send the link to students who have joined the class.

Unpublish an assignment

Select the assignment and select Unpublish. Students can no longer begin the unpublished assignment.
