Standard Assignment
With a standard assignment, students can insert text, audio, video, photos, or document links directly into a text box for submission. Additionally, students can upload one or more files they previously created or edited (e.g., text files, PDF files, images). NOTE: The standard assignment format is applied if you do not select Google Drive Assignments or Annotations Assignment.
Example Instructions
For an assignment where the student types answers in a text box:
Under Submissions on the right, click Submit Assignment.
Click Create.
Type your responses in the text box. You can add formatting and attach links and files, if needed.
To continue working on your responses at a later time, click Save Draft.
Click Submit when finished with your responses.
For an assignment where the student responds with an audio or video recording:
Under Submissions on the right, click Submit Assignment.
On the Upload tab, click Audio/Video Recording (microphone icon).
Depending on your browser settings, you may be prompted to enable the microphone and camera. Click Allow to continue with the recording. You can record up to 10 minutes of audio or video.
Click Stop when you have finished your recording. You can play back the recording.
Click Submit when finished.
For an assignment where the student edits a worksheet and then uploads the file:
Download the worksheet, add your responses, and save it to your device.
Under Submissions on the right, click Submit Assignment.
On the Upload tab, click File (icon to the left of the microphone).
Locate the file on your device and click Open.
Click Submit when finished.
Annotations Assignment
With an annotations assignment, you can upload multiple types of documents into Schoology and then have students annotate them in a variety of ways. Students can do all their annotations inside of Schoology. Examples of file formats you can use include DOC, DOCX, JPG, PDF, PNG, PPT, PPTX, TXT, XLS, and XLXS.
Example Instructions
Under Submissions on the right, click Start Assignment to view the file, which may take a few moments to appear.
Complete the assignment by using the Type or Draw tools on the annotations toolbar.
The Type tools allow you to underline, highlight, draw free text, and more. The Draw tools allow you to draw rectangles, lines, and more on the file.
When finished, click Submit at the bottom of the worksheet.
Google Drive Assignment
With a Google Drive assignment, you can assign Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Drawings from directly within Schoology. When students access the file in the assignment, Schoology automatically makes a copy for each student. Students can work on the assignment and submit it, and you can provide feedback and grade the assignment, all without leaving Schoology.
Example Instructions
From the Assignment tab, review the assignment instructions under Description.
Click My Document to view the file your teacher attached, which may take a few moments to appear.
Complete the assignment by typing directly in the file.
When finished, click Submit Assignment at the top of the page.
Click Yes, Submit if you are finished. If you want to continue working on the assignment, click Nevermind, not yet.
After clicking Yes, Submit, click Done.
