- Go into the class you wish to add assignments to.
- You'll notice two panes: the left pane has the Channels for your class, the right contains the content you're editing for that channel. Select Assignments.
- Click Get Started
- Find the Create button. You can choose to use an existing assignment, create a new one or a quiz.
Creating a New Assignment
- Choose Assignment from the Create list
- Fill out the information requested
- It's a good idea to add tags or categories to your assignment. Use the Add tag link to do this. These can be by unit, by subject, or whatever is most helpful to you for organizing your assignments.
- To add any resources or materials students might need, use the Attach link. You can also just put your instructions directly into the box above.
- You can set up your assignment by total marks. Alternatively you can create a rubric for more complex assignments. Use the Add rubric link to do this.
- Click +Add rubric to create a new rubric. (You can reuse rubrics, once they have been created here and saved from Teams as .csv files, with the Upload rubric option.)
- Using the rubric creator you can set up detailed rubrics using your preferred descriptors and criteria
- You can also set up timing on your assignments, including scheduled posting and when you'll accept late assignments until. Click the Edit link under the Due Date to do this.
Creating a New Quiz
- Quizzes are created using Microsoft Forms. You must create it as Quiz, not as a Form.
- If you have existing quizzes, you can use them. Otherwise, you can use the + New Quiz link to create a new one.
Pro-Tip! New assignments and quizzes will automatically appear in the Posts tab and notify students.
