Assignment settings

Every option when you assign an activity or edit an assignment: mode, due date, late work, time limit, attempts, scores, answers, pass mark and emails.

You choose these settings when you assign an activity to a class. Open Classes, click the class and use the Assign an activity card: pick the activity in Choose an activity…, choose a mode, then click Options. From the activity editor, Assign opens Assign to a class; clicking a class takes you to the same card with the activity already chosen.

Once an assignment is running, open it and press Settings at the top of the live view (on a phone: the ☰ menu, then Assignment settings). The same options open in a dialog; press Save to apply them.

The Assign an activity card on a class page, with the Options panel open: due date, time limit, attempts, one question at a time, shuffle, page activity tracking, pass mark and show scores.
The options open under **Options** on the class page. **Assign** in the editor takes you to the class page with the activity already chosen.
