This help document will show you how to copy an existing assignment to other classes.
Assignments are managed under the Manage Course feature. Please see Classes | Manage Course overview for more information on creating assignments.
View Assignments
Under the Course Plan and Progress Tracking heading of Manage Course, you’ll see a section to View & Create Assignments. To view, modify, create or copy assignments, click the Start button located on the right.
This will open the View & Create Assignments window. Any assignments that have been created for this class will be listed on the left under Assignment Name.
Copy Assignment
To begin copying an assignment to other classes, click the Ellipsis menu under the actions column to the far right of the assignment you want to copy and select Copy to Other Class(es).
Step 1: Select Class
A list of other classes that have been assigned the same course and version for whom the learning objects in the assignment have not already been assigned will be displayed. You can select the classes to which you want to copy the assignment, by clicking the checkbox to the left of the class name.
**NOTE** By default the assignment will be available to all the students of the selected class(es). If at least one learning object has already been assigned to a student of the selected class to which the assignment is being copied, the copied assignment will NOT be assigned to that student in the class, but it will be assigned to all the other students in the class.
**NOTE** You can click on the student count listed under the Students Column to the right of each course to see a pop-up of the students in that class who will have access to the copied assignment.
Step 2: Set Availability
After selecting the classes to which you want to copy the assignment, you need to set availability for the learning objects in the assignment. You can get to this step in two ways.
a) Click the Next button at the bottom of the screen:
b) Click on Step (2) Set Availability:
You can set the due date and restricted availability for each of the learning objects included in the assignment you are copying. The system will default the dates to those of the assignment you are copying but you can change or set new dates as needed. You can also leave these fields blank.
**NOTE** Tasks that are not given a due date will be assigned to the students but will not show up in their assignments tab.
For more information on how to set due date and restrict availability, please see Manage Course | How to set due dates for learning object tasks
