About Assignments

Assignments are Lessons assigned to you by your teacher. An Assignment can contain up to 20 Sections. Each section can contain up to 20 Activities or Quizzes.

Activities contain Text/Media, Poll, Interactive Thinking Tool or questions. Quizzes are similar but release feedback in different ways, depending on which Quiz type your teacher chooses.

Teachers may set Assignments as Assessments to better control assignments. In an Assessment, you cannot access non-examination material (e.g. external links) unless they have been whitelisted for use in the assessment's network.
