Skip to main contentIn Edzo, an assignment is how you give learners something specific to work on.
Assignments connect resources (learning activities) to learners within a learning space, providing structure while keeping learning flexible.
Creating an assignment
You create an assignment by choosing a resource and assigning it to learners.
Step-by-step process
- Choose your resource: Select from your created resources, remixed content, or Edzo’s library
- Select learners: Choose individual learners, groups, or your entire class
- Set assignment details:
- Add instructions or context for learners
- Set due dates (optional)
- Choose if learners can retry or continue after completion
- Set visibility preferences (immediate or scheduled)
Assignment options
Due dates and scheduling
- Set specific due dates or leave open-ended
- Schedule assignments to become available at a future time
- Create recurring assignments for regular practice
Differentiation settings
- Assign different versions of the same activity to different learners
- Set individual time limits or attempt restrictions
- Provide personalized instructions for specific learners
Feedback preferences
- Choose when learners see results (immediate, after completion, or after due date)
- Enable or disable hint systems for challenging questions
- Set up automatic feedback messages
Assignments can be created quickly and adjusted at any time.
Assigning to learners and groups
Assignments are always scoped to a learning space.
You can assign learning to:
- A single learner
- A selected group of learners
- Everyone in the learning space
This makes it easy to differentiate learning while keeping everything organized.
What learners see
When a learner receives an assignment, they see:
- The assigned learning activity
- Any instructions or expectations
- Their own progress and attempts
Learners focus on completing the activity, not managing assignments or settings.
Tracking assignment progress
As learners work on assigned activities, Edzo tracks progress automatically.
Assignment dashboard overview
From your assignments dashboard, you can see:
- Status overview: How many learners have started, completed, or not yet begun
- Progress details: Individual learner progress with time stamps
- Engagement metrics: Time spent, number of attempts, areas of difficulty
- Completion trends: Which parts of assignments are challenging for multiple learners
Individual learner insights
For each learner, you can view:
- Submission details: When they started, how long they worked, completion status
- Answer analysis: Which questions they found challenging and where they succeeded
- Attempt history: Multiple attempts and improvement over time
- Help requests: If learners used hints or struggled with specific concepts
Real-time monitoring
- Live progress updates: See when learners are actively working on assignments
- Immediate notifications: Get alerts when assignments are submitted
- Engagement flags: Identify learners who may need additional support
- Completion alerts: Know when learners finish assignments
This comprehensive tracking helps teachers and parents provide targeted support without relying solely on final grades or test scores.
Assignment management
Assignments are flexible and can be updated as needed to support effective teaching and learning.
Modifying active assignments
Extend due dates: Adjust deadlines for individual learners or entire classes
Update instructions: Add clarification or additional context without disrupting work in progress
Change settings: Modify attempt limits, hint availability, or feedback timing
Reassigning and duplicating
Reassign to additional learners: Add new students to existing assignments
Duplicate assignments: Copy successful assignments for use with different groups
Create variations: Make modified versions for differentiated instruction
Managing completed assignments
Review and archive: Move completed assignments to archives while preserving progress data
Generate reports: Export assignment results for gradebooks or parent communication
Create follow-up assignments: Build on completed work with extension activities
Bulk assignment operations
Mass assignment: Assign the same resource to multiple classes or learning spaces simultaneously
Batch modifications: Update due dates or settings across multiple assignments
Group management: Organize assignments by subject, unit, or time period
This flexible management system supports iterative teaching and responsive learning while maintaining clear records of learner progress.
Assignments across learning spaces
Assignments live inside a single learning space, but learners may receive assignments in multiple spaces.
For example:
- A learner may have assignments at school and at home
- Each space keeps its own assignments and expectations
- Progress can be understood within a space and across spaces
This keeps learning contexts clear and separate.
In summary
Assignments in Edzo provide structure without limiting flexibility.
You can assign ready-made, remixed, or self-created resources to learners, track progress over time, and adapt learning as needs change. all within the context of a learning space.
