Assignments

It’s important to guide Users through Courses, helping them know exactly what needs to be done next. Course Assignments allow Admins to highlight recommended or assigned Courses directly to Users.

There is a sub-type of an Assignment that isn’t an actual assignment: the Course Recommendation.

This article outlines the following concepts:

• Create an Assignment
  • Assignment Notifications
• Duplicate a Course Assignment

Create an Assignment

Go to Learning > Click Course Assignments > Click New

Admins can filter existing assignments by Course, User (groups or specific users), and Assignment type.

Give this assignment a Title and select if this applies to a Course or a Learning Path.

Select the associated learning material. 

Select if User Groups or Specific Users are assigned the respective Courses.

Select if the chosen Courses are Assigned or Recommended. When Assigned is chosen, give this Assignment a Start, End, and Due Date. Course Recommendations don’t have any associated dates.

When Courses are selected, designate if they are FREE to users. Note that this only applies to “Assigned” Courses. “Recommended” Courses still require payment, as designated in the Course editor.

Assignment Notifications

Select if this Assignment triggers any configured Notifications. 

When Notifications are enabled, Admins are shown a confirmation notice when the assignment is saved. Admins can choose to Send a notification so that users can see all the updates or, save the assignment without sending notifications. 

Click Save. 

Duplicate a Course Assignment

Duplicating Course Assignments makes it easy to create multiple assignments with similar content or structure.

Check the box of the Assignments to be copied > click Duplicate Assignments(s) > the new Assignment's title will be noted with a (copy).
