• An individual teacher account included in a School or Homeschool plan

• At least one assignment previously created

View Assignments

To view your assignments, log in with your individual educator account and click Dashboard at the top. You’ll find your most recently created assignments on the Dashboard, but to view them all, click All Assignments.

Track Progress on Assignments

Click an assignment’s title to view progress on the assignment. You’ll see a table listing students’ names, links to their work, and their scores.

If your assignment has multiple parts, you’ll see them listed in a column on the left; click a specific part to view your class’ progress on it.

Edit Assignments

1. Click an assignment’s title in your Teacher Dashboard then click Edit to make changes to an existing assignment.
   
   
   
   
2. When you click the Edit button, you will be brought to the first step of the Assignment Builder page where you can edit the class the assignment is given to, update the assignment to assign it to specific students, and change the title, due date, the date it's scheduled to be assigned, and other details. When you're ready, click Next to proceed to the second step in the Assignment Builder.
   
3. Here, you can add activities to your assignment.
   
   
4. Note: Scroll down slightly, and you'll see you can also click Add Topic to include features from other topics.
   
   
5. When you are finished adding features, click Next to proceed to the third step in the assignment builder to add instructions to your assignment or remove activities from your assignment.
   
   
   
   
6. You can add instructions in the box labeled Instructions.
   
   
   
   
7. To remove a feature from an assignment, click on the trash can next to the activity.
   
   
   
   
8. When you are finished, click Update to save the changes made to your assignment.
   
   

Hide Assignments

1. In the Assignments view, click the three dots next to an assignment. You'll see you can edit the assignment, duplicate the asssignment, and copy the assignment link to paste it in your LMS. You can also hide the assignment, which means it will be hidden from your assignments page. 
   
   
   
   Hiding an assignment will hide it from your view, but it will not delete or unassign it. The assignment will remain visible to students, their work will remain in the assignment, and students will still be able to access the assignment.
   
2. You can always view the assignment again by clicking View Hidden. To see your hidden assignments, click View Hidden.
   
   
   
   
3. To unhide an assignment, click the three dots on the hidden assignment and click Unhide.
   
   

Unassign Assignments

You can unassign an assignment from the class it's assigned to, or unassign it from specific students. This will remove the assignment from the Assignments tab in the student Dashboard.

1. When viewing the Assignment list, click the three dots next to the assignment you want to unassign and click Edit.
   
   
   
   
2. To unassign it from the entire class, click the trash can icon next to the class name.
   
   
   
   
3. You'll be asked to confirm that you would like to remove the class from the assignment. To confirm, click Continue.
   
   
   
4. You'll return to the assignment builder. From there, proceed through the remaining steps to update the assignment. Click Next, click Next again, and click Update.
5. When you return to your Assignments, you'll see the assignment is now reverted to a draft.
   
   
6. If you need to unassign it from specific students rather than the entire class, instead of choosing the trash can icon next to the class name, simply click Assign to specific students. Then uncheck the box next to the students' names.
   
   
7. Click Next to continue updating the assignment as usual.

Any students who have had the assignment unassigned from them will no longer see it in the Assignments tab of their Dashboard. Any results from students that were previously submitted to you as part of the assignment will remain visible to you when viewing work for your class. Those will now appear as free submissions.

Duplicating an Assignment for Another Class

1. You can give the same assignment to more than one class. If you've just finished creating the assignment, click Duplicate Assignment.
   
2. If you are returning to the assignment later, click the three dots next to the assignment and then click Duplicate.
   
   
   
3. You'll see that the assignment was duplicated successfully and you can choose a new class to assign it to.
   
4. Follow the same process you would to create a new assignment.

Grade and Give Feedback

1. You can give comments and scores on work students have submitted to you. Click an assignment straight from the Dashboard or click the title of a feature or assignment from the class page. You’ll see a table listing your students with links to their work. This page also includes an Export Grades link to download a CSV of scores for the entire assignment.
   
   
   
   
2. Click View Work next to a student’s name. You’ll see the student’s submission, along with a field to leave optional feedback and a numerical score.
   
3. You can use the dropdown menu of students’ names to navigate directly to their submissions and leave feedback, or use the arrows next to the student name to move on to the next student or back the previous one.
   

Manage Shared Assignments

On November 8, BrainPOP launched co-teacher features to School Plan customers that also use our Clever and Classlink/OneRoster API integrations. If your school is set up with one of these integrations, co-teachers with teacher roles in Clever or OneRoster API will be automatically rostered by each nightly sync.

Coming soon: Native co-teacher functionality for users not rostered via Clever and OneRoster API. Watch this space for updates.

When you assign work to a class that is shared with Co-Teachers, the assignment will become a shared assignment. You'll see the Shared icon next to the class name in the assignment tile.

You'll also see which teacher last edited the assignment, and when.  You can see the same information when viewing the Assignment Progress.

When you edit a shared assignment, the changes you make will also be applied to the assignment for all co-teachers.

All co-teachers can give feedback and grade shared assignments, with all feedback and grades being reflected on the assignment for each co-teacher in the class.

When you unassign a shared assignment, you will become the owner of the remaining assignment draft, and your co-teachers will no longer be able to view or edit the assignment draft. Drafts cannot be shared.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I delete old assignments from my Teacher Dashboard?

You cannot delete assignments while they are assigned to a class, but you can hide them instead. You can also delete assignment drafts. If you truly need to delete an assignment entirely after it has been given to the class, you can turn it back into a draft by unassigning it. Then you can click the three dots next to the draft and click Delete.

Can I delete a student's assignment results when viewing a particular assignment?

You cannot delete a student's assignment results. The assignment results will only show the original score for the student's submission to the assignment.

Can I reassign an assignment for a student to retake it?

If you'd like a student or students to repeat an assignment, we recommend duplicating the assignment and assigning it to the specific student or students.

If I assign a student work, but they submit the work to me again after they originally submitted their assignment, where can I see those results?

The Assignment View and CSV download will only include the student's original score or results for the assignment. In the event that the student completes the activities again, you can find their results by going to view all work in that class, then viewing work by the activity, and looking for the free submissions, rather than the assignments.

What if my student did not receive the assignment?

If for some reason a student does not receive an assignment, you can assign it after the fact by editing the assignment itself. To do this, go to the Teacher Dashboard, click on the three dots next to the assignment, and click Edit.

Click Assign to specific students and select the student(s) who are missing. Then, click Update. The student(s) should now have the assignment.
