Schoology: Assignments

Assigning and Grading Work

Class Assignments Overview

You can use class assignments in a number of ways in Schoology. They are great for providing students with needed directions for a variety of different activities, distributing class notes or templates or as a way to communicate expectations to students.

You can choose to create assignments that are graded and ungraded, that require students to upload work or don't require submissions and that have links, embedded content and audio or video for students who may need to hear information.

Students can submit work in a variety of formats as well. They can type directly into the submission box, upload from OneDrive or Google Drive, or add an image or video from their photos. If you allow comments on assignments, students can also ask questions for clarification.

The videos and tips below assume you already have your gradebook established, and will guide you through setting up assignments.

Check out this Schoology guide to see what it could look like.

Creating An Assignment

Assignment Tip

If you do not plan to collect work through Schoology but still want the information to appear in the calendar area for students, be sure to disable submissions by clicking the little file box. This way students won't receive a late work notice.
