Create Assignments

You can create and manage assignments in CNOWv2. There are several types of assignments available.

Video: Add Getting Started Assignments

Create a Homework Assignment
Use Homework assignments to help your students review information and understand new concepts. You can add a variety of pre-made questions, as well as questions you've created. You can include up to 150 questions in a single assignment.
Create a Reading Assignment
Use Reading assignments to assign entire chapters or specific sections of your eBook to your students. Reading assignments are available with assignable eBook resources, and they are not graded.
Create an Adaptive Study Plan
Adaptive Study Plans are helpful for review and mastery of the concepts and skills in your course. Students take a quiz to find out what they need to practice and review, and then work through a customized study plan.
Create an External Assignment
Use External assignments to link to additional, outside assignments from CNOWv2. Creating External assignments allows you to include outside assignments in your gradebook.
Video Tutorial: Create Self-Authored Questions
You can author your own questions in CNOWv2 and include them in your assignments.
Save Assignment Settings
Save assignment settings as an option set to reuse for future assignments.
Edit Assignments
Once you have created an assignment, you can go back and edit it. Try to edit your assignments before they become available to your students. If some students have already begun the assignment, the changes you make might not apply to those students, and you may be limited in the changes you can make.
