Assignment Creator
Assignments, previously called Projects, now incorporate assignment features onto a single page for faster and easier assignment development and navigation:
- Book Bag offers a quick way to collect books to add to an assignment or forward as reading recommendations.
- The Recording feature is now available within the Assignment Creator, enabling teachers to monitor students’ oral reading fluency progress by having students record themselves reading aloud.
- An easy-to-use Student Selector enables teachers to quickly select individual students, small groups, or whole classes for assignments.
- The new Preview button allows teachers to view assignments prior to publishing, and a clearly marked Save button is now on the page.
- The redesigned Assignment Organizer helps teachers save time by categorizing their assignments as “Active,” “Drafts,” and “Archived.” A new filter and search assists in locating assignments within the teacher account.
- The revised View Progress page now provides in-depth reporting across assignment activities by student, including time spent reading, recording duration, and completion by activity. It also gives teachers the ability to provide feedback for each activity assigned.
