How do I create an assignment?

Teachers in Sadlier Connect can assign resources to students to be taken and submitted within a specified date range.

Assigning content from the Library

1. From the Dashboard, click the "Library" tab.

2. Select the grade you are teaching (if you see more than one). For this article, we are selecting Grade 3.

If you click on the "My Library" button and nothing seems to happen, you may need licenses applied to your account. Only your school's Sadlier Connect Admin can resolve this problem for you. Here is more information regarding licenses.

3. On the table of contents, click a chapter from the left column. 

4. Find a content item you want to assign that has an "assign" icon:
For this article, we selected the "Determining a Central Message" content item.
Helpful notes:
  • Renaming the assignment and then selecting the class will cause the assignment name to revert to the original.
  • If you see this message, "Not all students in the class have licenses applied to their accounts for this product and will not be listed below. Please contact your Sadlier Connect Admin for your school for assistance." scroll down to see who is missing from the list. Only your school's Sadlier Connect Admin can resolve this problem for you.

5. Enter a start date, due date, and choose if you will allow a grace period (end date).

  • Start date: When the assignment becomes available to students.
  • Due date: The date and time you expect the student to submit the assignment.
  • Grace period (Optional): This allows students to complete the assignment after the due date up to the end date and time.
6. The assignment chosen for this example has no multiple-choice questions. When multiple-choice questions are present, you will see other options below the date selections.

  • Available Answers: This allows you to limit the distractors in multiple-choice questions.
  • You may also choose to scramble the questions and exclude the assignment from reporting and alerts.
7. You can add additional items to the assignment.

  • The section menu lets you choose another area from the table of contents. 
  • Click the Add Button and select an item from the section you selected.
8. You may choose how to score the assignment and provide additional instruction for your students.* 

*Non-Assessment items are not autograded and will require teachers to manually enter a grade for submitted work.

If you would like this assignment to be a Multi-Part assignment, you can check mark "Multi-Part Assignment" after adding additional resources.

Checkmark those students who should be receiving the assignment. If all students will be taking the assignment, use the check box at the top of the list to select all.

Once you have set the assignment with the preferred settings, click Save at the bottom.
