Setting a book assignment

Sending book assignments is a great way to ask students to prepare ahead of the next lesson. Of course, you can also create assignments and send them later!

Locate the relevant class, click the "Create Assignment" button, and select "Book assignment" from the dropdown menu.

Step 1: Select the sections.


When you're ready, click 'Step 2' at the bottom right of the page.

Step 2: Customise your assignment.

  1. Create a name for your assignment.

  2. Check recipients or send to multiple classes (on the same subject) by clicking "+ Edit recipients" and selecting specific classes or students.

  3. Rearrange the sections if necessary.

  4. Add a message with specific instructions for your students.

  5. Set a deadline.

Click "Review and Schedule" to send it later, "Review and Send" to send it now, or "Finish later" to save the assignment without sending it immediately.

What happens once I have sent the assignment?

  • All recipients will receive an email notifying them that they have an assignment to complete. The assignment will also appear in the assignment dashboard when they log in.

  • When the deadline has passed, the assignment will be automatically marked and a report with the assignment results will be sent to your email.


    Book assignment features

  1. Data availability: All book assignment data is now available on one page. You can see an overview of tasks, task completion rates, and an overview of student progress.

2. Student view toggle: As in the textbook, the student view toggle is available and can be used to see how the student version of a book assignment appears.

3. Editing options - All book assignments: The “edit assignment” button in the top right of the book assignment header allows you to edit details or end the assignment without leaving the page.


4. Editing options - Scheduled book assignments: For “Scheduled” book assignments, you can change the date from the top banner, and you can edit the recipients using the button below the student progress bars.
