There are two main types of assignments within Schoology:

to post for students.
to post for students.
This is the most similar assignment to Google Classroom. We recommend using this assignment when you would like to attach Google file templates or have students author Google files.
2.) Schoology Assignment
Use this type of assignment ONLY to post Kami PDFs for students.
Teachers should use this assignment when posting Kami PDFs for students to edit, or when students must attach files from their device (do not use this for Google file attachments like Docs, Slides, etc.).

Teacher view and assigning a Kami assignment is until 3:23 in the video.
Student view and submitting starts at 3:24. This portion of the video is about 9 minutes long. It starts with troubleshooting if the "Open with Kami" option does not show for students. Then, it will walk students through interacting/annotating on the assigned PDF and ensure successful submission of the Kami assignment.
