GETTING INTO THE ASSIGNMENTS
The most important places you will go….
1. The gradebook, to see how
students are doing
2. The homework/
test manager, to
alter assignments
3. Announce-ments, to let
students know what you want
them to do next.
PREVIEWING ASSIGNMENTS
Now you can see a list of all your assignment
Click the arrow to see a list of what you can
do.
PREVIEWING
The arrow brings down a pull-down menu. We’ll start by selecting “list questions”…
Then click “Go.”
This is a great quick way to see a list of the questions in the assignment, but without editing them.
Close the “list questions” box by clicking on the x.
PREVIEWING ASSIGNMENTS
Now let’s take a look at the questions themselves.
Click the arrow again.
PREVIEWING
This time, select “Preview,” just above “list questions”…
Then click “Go.”
Now you can do the assignment, as if you are a student.
On the right side, you can see the options the students can use.
