Add an Assignment

Campuswire allows you to post different types of assignments where students can complete by submitting the assignment file, submitting text, or externally to an instructor or TA. You can choose how you want students to submit the assignment.

There are a variety of different kinds of assignments that  you can choose from (including quizzes, exams and discussion posts.) 

Watch the video below to follow along step by step to add an assignment:

Step by step instructions to add an assignment:

1. Go to the left side of your Campuswire screen and click on the correct icon to navigate to your class

2. Once you are within your class, go to the lower left hand side of the screen and select Assignments

3. Within the Assignments tab, click on Create a new assignment

4. You will be prompted to create a new assignment:

• Give your assignment a Name

• Identify the Type of Assignment: Homework, Quiz, Project, Exam, Discussion Post, Paper, or Final

• Select the Submission type: Students can submit externally, using File + Text, or files only

• Input a Time Limit (this is optional)

• Type the description/explanation of the assignment in the text box on the left hand side

             When finished, click Next in the bottom right corner

5. You will then be prompted to select an open date & due date for the assignment. The Open date is the date when the assignment will be open, or available for students to see & submit the assignment.

You can also select to allow for late submissions or set custom weights for the assignment.

When done, select Create on the bottom right hand corner. You may be prompted to complete additional steps if you select an assignment that is more complex than a homework assignment submission.

5. In order for everyone in class to view the assignment, you must publish the assignment. To do this, navigate to the top right hand corner of the assignment where there is an “unpublished” tag. Click on the three dots and select publish assignment from the drop down menu 

Once published, students will be able to view and complete the assignment when the assignment is "open"! You can click to blue button to close submissions.
