Adding an Assignment

The Assignment Manager allows you to create an assignment that automatically becomes an item in your Gradebook. Students complete this assignment in a separate file and electronically send it back to you through the Course Menu. You may then download these files from the Gradebook and review them, before assigning a grade. The Assignment tutorials will guide you through this process.
In this tutorial you will learn how to navigate to the Content Areas and add an Assignment to your course.
1. In the Control Panel area, on the top left under Content Areas, select the link to the area where you want to add an assignment.
2. On the Add menu bar, choose Assignment from the drop-down menu on the top right, then click the Go button.
