4. Guided Practice: Assignments
Click on the Assessment Tab and then select
assignments. You will notice that the screen
is very similar to creating an item. Let’s give
this assignment a name. We’re going to give
the assignment a name like Assignment 1

5. Below the title you will notice the text box editor. As we
mentioned earlier the textbox editor is similar to a word
processing program. It allows you to give formatting to
your text, add pictures, media and allows you to view
and edit the HTML.

6. Scroll down the page and
you will notice some of the
different options you have
for the assignments.
If you have directions
in a long document
that you don’t want
to copy and paste
into the textbox
editor you can
include the
document as an
attachment.

7. Choosing Assignment Grading Options
Type the total
possible points for
the assignment. Notice how
you may add
a Rubric.

8. Availability
Under the availability title you will notice a check mark
next to Make the Assignment Available. This box will be
blank unless you click to add a check mark or just fill out
the assignment date details. You will also want to select
the number of attempts you want to give to your
students.
By default it will be a single attempt.

9. When do you want your assignment to be
available? Choose a date and time for your
assignment to be available. If you want to
track the number of views, you can place a
check mark next to Track Number of Views.

11. Enter a Due Date for the
assignment.

12. Thanks for watching! Good
Luck on the Quiz. Remember
you need to pass in order to
unlock the next task.
