Assignments overview
Overview
The Assignments tab lists every assignment in your course. Teaching-team members can create assignments, filter the list, and open an assignment to edit settings or review student work.
Open assignments
- Open your course.
- Select Assignments.
Assignments appear in the main list; filters and actions are in the sidebar (layout may stack on mobile).
Sidebar actions (teaching team)
| Action | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Create Assignment | Start a new assignment (opens the create/edit flow). |
| Sync Assignments with … | When LMS sync is configured, pull assignment updates from the connected platform (wording shows your platform name). |
| Filter Assignments | Search and filter by assignment type; show or hide past assignments. |
Students see a reduced sidebar without create/sync controls.
Working with an assignment
Select an assignment from the list to open its detail view. Available actions depend on assignment type and your role (for example edit, publish, assess submissions).
