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, teachers can easily track how their classes are travelling and make edits to their assignments.

Filtering Assignments

All assignments, both active and expired, can be found under 'Assigned work' in the left bar menu on your screen. You can view any class in which you are listed as a teacher.

To begin, select a class: 

Once you have selected a class you can filter to find your assignment based on status (whether it has been completed or is active) and/or the date it is due.

To reset your filter, remove a condition or click 'Reset filters'.

Viewing Assignment Details

Viewing the Year 10 class, we can see they have two active assignments. Each assignment shows an overview including how many students have completed it so far, the dates it has been set for and the date it was created. If we click 'Show' on one of them, we can view its details. 

You can toggle between 'Resources', 'Students' and 'Notes'.

All resources are listed and can be opened or launched from the assignment details.

The students who have been added to this assignment are listed and flagged once they have completed their tasks. 

If any notes have been specified they will appear here.

Changing Assignment Details

Editing

If you need to make changes to the details of the assignment, click 'Edit'.

You will be taken back to the beginning of the assigning process for this assignment. You can make changes to all of the steps listed, or simply click through until you find the information you need to change. 

Step 1

From this point, you can select additional resources for the assignment, or remove them from the list using the red cross. Once you have finalised your resources, click 'Next: Set date'. 

Step 2

Click on the calendar icons to select a start and end date for the assignment. Alternatively, you can check 'No end date' for a perpetual assignment. Once finalised, click 'Next: Select Students'.

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 will need to scroll to view the full summary.

At the bottom of the summary, there will be an option to send email notifications to the student list. Unchecking the box will not send a notification. 

Click 'Confirm'. 

You can now close the pop-up and return to the 'Assigned work' overview.

Deleting

If you need to remove the assignment for any reason, click 'Delete'.

You will receive this flag. Click 'Confirm' to delete.
