Assignment Options

  • Updated

In the Assign section of your assignment, there are several toggles that you can turn on and off - Points, Helpers, Hide, Lock, and PDFs. 

PLEASE NOTE: If the toggle for a feature is green, that means the feature is turned on. If the toggle is gray, the feature is turned off.

Image of the Assign Dashboard of the assignment. There are two rosters assigned to the Math assignment and the assignment feature toggles are shown with Helpers and PDFs turned on for the Sample Roster.

Click on the headers below to learn more. 

1) Points

Toggle Points (formerly Grades) on to allow students to see their grades/score and whether they answered correctly. Otherwise, toggle Points off.

If Points is on, students can continue to change their answer until they see that the answer is correct. If you do not want students to do this, toggle Grades off. Please see this help center article for more information on our auto-grading features. 

The Points feature is highlighted on the Assign Tab. The toggle has been turned on for New Roster and appears green, but is turned off and gray for Sample Roster.

 

2) Helpers

Toggle Helpers on to allow student collaboration.

When a student on your roster raises their hand, another student on the roster can jump into the assignment and help that student. Check out this article to learn more about our Peer Helpers feature.

 

Peer Helpers is highlighted on the dashboard and is toggled on for the New Roster, but toggled off for the Sample Roster.

3) Hide

Toggle Hide on if you do not want students to see an assignment. Please note that this feature is NOT immediate.

Students must exit the assignment in order for it to be hidden. Students will have access to the assignment until they exit. 

The Hide feature is highlighted on the Assign Tab. The toggle has been turned on for Sample Roster and appears green, but is turned off and gray for New Roster.

4) Lock

Toggle Lock on for students to view an assignment, but not make any changes on it. This feature is immediate, meaning that as soon as it is turned on, students will no longer be able to edit their work.

 

The Lock feature is highlighted on the Assign Tab. The toggle has been turned off for both the Sample Roster and the New Roster and appears gray for both.

 

5) PDFs

Teachers can now control whether or not students can export their work to PDF!

Sometimes, teachers do not want students to export an assignment with their work. Toggling the feature OFF (gray) means students CANNOT export work to PDF. Toggling the feature ON (green) means students CAN export their work to PDF. 

The PDFs feature is highlighted on the Assign Tab. The toggle has been turned on for Sample Roster and appears green, but is turned off and gray for New Roster. For iOS:

The Filters option for the ios app is shown with the Settings section showing. The toggle titled Allow students to export PDF is highlighted and toggled on.
