Introduction

As with the previous version of Oxford Digital for secondary, teachers are able to create, assign and manage assignments to collect student data on key learning points in the syllabus. Now, finding and assigning resources for your assignments is easier than ever with two ways to choose from.

Method 1: assigning from a lesson

The following example is based on a pre-release prototype of the Oxford Digital Experience and may be subject to changes once the final version is live.  

Part A

When opening your obook for the first time in a session you will be presented with the title's landing page. 

Go to 'Course' listed in the left bar menu. 

From the drop-down menu, select the module (and lesson) you would like to assign work from. To access lessons under modules, click the drop-down arrow.

Select the lesson you want.

Open the lesson so that you land on the lesson overview. 

Part B

Click on 'Resources' in the left bar menu. 

This will bring you to a filtered display of resources which have been categorised into lessons. This is indicated by the 'Filters' button near the top of the page. 

Once you find the resource you wish to assign, click the three dots to expand options for the resource, then click 'Assign'.

This will open a full-screen pop-up.

Step 1

From this point, you can select additional resources for the assignment, or remove them from the list using the '-' button on the left side menu. Once you have finalised your resources, click 'Next'. 

Step 2

Give your assignment a title, description, start date, and due date as per the boxes. You can also choose to notify students of the assignment on the start date. Click 'Next' to continue.

Step 3

Step 3 will list all the available classes for assignment. You will need to select one or more to bring up the list of students available.

As a side note, if a teacher has created groups within their class, they will present in a cascade list once you select that class. If you do not select a class, the setting will be automatically be '(ungrouped)'.

For this example we will use class year 10, with students ungrouped (that is, individual students). 

All students will be automatically selected. 

Click 'Confirm'.

Step 4

Read through the details of your assignment. You can go back and update details if needed.

Select 'Create Assignment'

Method 2: assigning from the resource list

Part A

From the landing page, go directly to 'Resources' in the left bar menu.

You will be presented with an unfiltered list of all available resources from the the teacher obook. 

You can toggle between list-view and tile-view according to your preferences. 

Click 'Filters' to sort through the resources. You can filter these resources by the below options,

• Search
• All content - Choose lessons / Modules
• Resource Types

You can also group by either 'Module' or 'Resource Type'

Once you have found the resource you would like to assign, you can select that resource specifically by clicking the three dots and 'Assign' to trigger the assignment process. 

Alternatively, you can click 'Assign Resources' at the top of the page to select multiple resources. 

Simply click 'Add to assign' to add them to the list.

Part B

Identical to Method 1. Follow the prompts to assign these resources to your class. See Part B, Step 1 in Method 1 for details.
