Creating Assignments

Creating assignments in Skooler is a breeze. Just log in to your Skooler account and select the “Assignments” module from the left menu.

• For assignment, click “Create Assignment” button; for assessment, Click the “Create Assessment” button at the top of the page.

What’s the difference between an assignment and an assessment?

In Skooler, assignments and assessment can both be used to see how well a child is performing in a subject. The key difference is when creating both, you have the option to add a quiz to an assignment but this feature isn’t available when creating an assessment.

• Give your assignment a descriptive title and select the classes/groups the assignment applies to.
• Choose the subject, you have the option to add a cover image and a detailed description/ instructions for the students. Be very clear in explaining the requirements, expectations, and objectives of the assignment. You can format the text, embed images, add hyperlinks, and more.

• Choose your scoring format, publishing date (the date the assignment is sent to the students) and due date. At this point, you can also add a hand-in document.

• Scrolling to the top, the student tab shows you the students in the class who will be receiving the assignment.

• From the assessment tab, you can add a formative rubric which you can use in grading the assignment. You can also enable the student self assessment, plagiarism and peer review options.

• Under Resources, you can attach any necessary files or resources for the students to access. This could include worksheets, reading passages, multimedia, and so on.

• Under Quizzes, you can create a new quiz or add an existing quiz. (The Quiz module will be critically examined in subsequent blog posts).
• Review all the details and settings, then click “Publish Now” to release the assignment. It will now appear on students’ dashboards and they will receive a notification that new work has been assigned.

Skooler makes assignment management simple through an intuitive interface and useful features. Following these practical steps will have you creating and distributing assignments in no time.
