You can associate an assignment directly with the Grade item, allowing you to evaluate assignment submissions directly with a Gradebook.

To assign a score, in the Grade Out Of field enter a value. If there’s also an associated grade item, maintain consistency by matching the value of the Out Of field to the grade item’s Max Points value.

To associate the assignment with a grade item in your grade book, select an Edit or Link to Existing option, and under Link to an existing grade item choose the correct grade item.

Only numeric grade items can be associated with assignments.

Click OK.

Now, your assignment is linked to the Gradebook.

You can set up a Due date for this assignment. Please note, students will see that there’s a due date for this assignment and LEARN still will allow students to submit their assignment after the due date has been reached. Their submission will appear with a mark of late submission.

If you need to set up stricter settings, you can do that by setting dates and conditions.

Under Availability Dates and Conditions option you will be able to set up Start and End Dates, Release Conditions, and provide Special Access to some students.

Click on the drop-down menu next to Availability Dates and Conditions:

Start and End Dates: if you want to hide this Assignment and allow the students to access it ONLY within certain dates, this option allows you to ‘Show’ and ‘Hide’ the assignment from the student’s Assignments’ list.

When you set up a ‘Start Date’, the assignment will show up and students will be able to access ONLY when the date and time are reached.

When you set up an ‘End Date’, the assignment will disappear from the students view and they will not be able to see and access the assignment anymore.

Release Conditions: Users are not able to access or view the assignment unless they meet the release conditions.

For example: Students will be able to access the assignment ONLY after they complete reading all materials of Module 1.

Under Release Conditions, to create and attach a new release condition to the assignment, click on the Add Release Condition dropdown menu and select Create New.

From the Condition Type dropdown menu, select the condition that must be met. From the Assignment Submission Folder dropdown menu, select the assignment submission folder, in which this condition must be met and click Create.

Under Release Conditions, to attach an existing release condition to the assignment, click on the Add Release Condition dropdown menu and select Add Existing. Select an existing release condition from the list of available release conditions and click Attach.

Special Access allows assignments to be available to only a select group of users or individualized due dates for certain users.

To enable assignments to be available only to a select group of users or to add individualized due dates for certain users, click Manage Special Access.

Select either the Allow users with special access to submit outside the normal availability dates for this folder radio button or the Allow only users with special access to see this folder radio button.

Click Add Users to Special Access and if applicable, specify the Due Date, the Availability start and end dates, and then select the checkbox alongside the users whom you want to grant this special access.

Click Save and then click Save and Close.

The special access icon, the number of users with special access, and the condition appear under Special Access. If you need to set up an additional student with a Special Access, then repeat the process.
