  2. Create a new assignment or modify an existing one just as you would in the Assignments tool. (For more, see ARCHIVED: Adding, editing, or removing an assignment.)
  3. When the assignment has been created, at the top, click Continue with Add Assignment.
  4. You'll return to the list of assignments; select the assignment, and click Use selected item.

Editing an assignment

To set the properties of the assignment as it pertains to your Lessons page:

  1. Click Edit to the left of the assignment you would like to modify.
  2. In the "Edit Item" box, you can modify any of the following:
    • Item Name: Change the name of the text in the link to your assignment on the main Lessons page.
    • Item Description: Add or change a description of your assignment, which will appear beneath the link to the assignment.
    • Change Assignment: Choose a different assignment to link to.

    • Require that the student submit this assignment: Select if students must complete this item before progressing in a Lessons plan.
    • Require that the student receive ____ points on this assignment: Select this option to make it necessary to score a certain number of points on the assignment to continue. You can only select this if the item is required.
    • Edit the groups for which this item should be shown: Allows you to make this assignment visible only to certain groups or sections if they are defined for the site. See ARCHIVED: Managing groups.
  3. To save your changes, click Update Item. To remove the assignment from your Lessons page, click Delete.

Note: If your assignment has an "Accept Until" date, students will be unable to submit after that date, even if the assignment is required to progress in Lessons (beta).
