      Add an Assignment from the Calendar

      You can create assignment shells from the Calendar. Assignment shells are placeholders for the assignment until you fill in the assignment details. You can also create assignments with differing due dates for specific students.

      Note: Currently assignments added from the calendar are not validated against course or term start and end dates.

      1. In Global Navigation, click the Calendar link.

      Open Calendar Button

      2. Click the Add icon.

      Add Calendar Item

      3. Select the Assignment tab.

      4. Enter a title [1] and due date [2] for the new assignment. In the Calendar drop-down menu [3], select the course for the assignment. In the Group drop-down menu [4], select the assignment group.

      To publish the assignment, toggle the Publish icon [5]. If you choose not to publish, the assignment will still be created and remain unpublished.

      Create Assignment_Calendar

      5. To view the assignment page and edit the assignment details, click the More Options button. Otherwise, click the Submit button.
