Element Assigments in course builder

Homework assignments help assess students’ comprehension of your course. You can add assignments to every lesson, accept submissions manually or automatically, and leave comments to give feedback.

In this article, we’ll talk about how to create course assignments and accept submissions automatically.

Add the Task element

Drag and drop the Task element under your primary lesson material, and enter your task description and requirements in the text field.

If you have a big task description, format your text to improve its readability. For example, you can add headings, change your font size, apply bold, italic, or strikethrough, change your text color, add a link, and create a list.

To format your text, select it, and choose a tool from the toolbar.

You can also add additional elements to your task: text, image, audio, file, divider, and spaces.

You can add several tasks to one lesson. If your course is sequential, students will not be able to continue studying until an instructor grades all their assignments.

Enable auto-acceptance

You can use the accept students answers automatically for easy tasks that you don't need to assess. You can check the assignments where you disabled this option in the Answers to the task tab.

To enable the Auto-accept answers option, click your task heading, turn on the toggle in the right panel, and select an amount of time after which your students’ assignments will be accepted automatically.

You can also assess students’ knowledge through tests.
