Why setting advanced assignments as homework is important
Using the extra tools in the Assignment area means you can build bespoke assignments suited to your needs, either by editing a template, duplicating a past assignment or building your own from scratch.
The customisable elements give you the opportunity to challenge your students more. Where basic assignments focus on multiple-choice only questions, you can choose to add free-text questions or learning activities.
You can choose to hide the pods to increase the difficulty of an assignment and utilise our exam-style assignments to allow extra exam practice. You have the option to remove or add pods and questions from our editable templates or upload your own questions. You can choose to add images, audio and PDF files to your questions and allow students to upload images as answers.
Share the workload by adding additional markers to your assignment and schedule your assignments ahead of time to reduce your workload during term time.
