About This Feature
Assignments are designed to enhance the learning experience by allowing you to incorporate knowledge checks into the Curriculum with customizable visibility settings. This promotes interactive learning, enables peer review, and ensures focused feedback from Instructors.
How It Works
Add assignments within a Curriculum and set who can view the submissions: All Product Members, Managers Only, or Sub-Group Members. Submissions can be videos, photos, attachments, or text with links to external content, with a 2MB file size limit per submission. Assignment Due Date Reminders can also be configured to prompt members 24 hours before the deadline, ensuring timely submissions. A Pass/Fail requirement can be enabled with pre-requisites so the learner must receive a pass to unlock the next module or lesson. Failure to pass requires the learner to resubmit the assignment. Admins, instructors and/Product Managers are responsible for reviewing each submission and assigning the appropriate Pass or Fail status.
How To Create an Assignment
- From the Curriculum app, select the add icon “+”, then select the “Assignment” Content Type.
- Create a Title for your Assignment and add a Description/Instructions.
- Navigate to the 'Settings' tab and set Submission Visibility: Choose who will see the submissions:
- All Product Members: Allows every member of the Product to view submissions.
- Managers Only: Restricts submission visibility to Managers only.
- Sub-Group Members: Limits visibility to members within the same Subgroup (Applicable if subgroups are utilized).
- Determine Submission Types and Size Limit: Remember the 2MB file size limit to select acceptable submission formats.
- Configure Assignment Due Date Reminders: Reminders are sent to members 24 hours before the assignment's due date.
- Enable a Pass/Fail requirement, if desired.
- Publish Assignment: Finalize and publish the assignment details to make them accessible to your members.
Important Considerations
- When selecting the visibility of your Assignments, consider the learning goals you have set for your Members and your Community Guidelines.
- With the 2MB file size limit, Members may need to optimize their files or use links for larger submissions.
- Assignment Due Date Reminders require setting a clear due date when creating the assignment.
- If the pass/fail requirement is enabled, a learner can only progress once they pass it.
- A learner can resubmit the assignment however many times they need. There is no ability to set a maximum number of attempts.
- Reporting results will show the aggregate of all attempted submissions (not just the passed results).
