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 modules.
When you're ready, click 'Step 2' at the bottom right of the page.
Step 2: Customize your assignment.
Create a name for your assignment.
Check recipients or send to multiple classes (on the same subject) by clicking "+ Edit recipients" and selecting specific classes or students.
Ensure the 'Send to (your preferred LMS)' feature is enabled.
Rearrange the sections if necessary.
Add a message with specific instructions for your students.
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
Data availability: All book assignment data is available on one page. You can see an overview of tasks, task completion rates, and an overview of student progress. All you need to do is click on the assignment name in your assignment overview page.
Grading access for Performance Tasks: A notification will display if a Performance Task in a book assignment has ungraded student responses, and clicking it will open the grading interface.
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.
LMS integration (if applicable): If the book assignment is synced with a learning management system (LMS), a link to the assignment on the LMS will be available.
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.
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.
