Assigning Tasks

Once you’ve created a task, you can assign it to students. Each assignment creates an individual work item for each student, with its own submission link and deadline.

How to Assign

  1. Open the task you want to assign
  2. Click Assign
  3. Select recipients:
    • Entire classes — all students in the selected class(es) receive the assignment
    • Individual students — pick specific students from your classes
  4. Set a deadline — the date and time by which students must submit
  5. Confirm the assignment

What Happens Next

  • Each student receives an email notification with a direct link to their submission page
  • Students can click the link, write their text, and submit — no account or login required
  • The deadline is displayed in your organization’s timezone
  • You can track who has submitted and who hasn’t from your dashboard

Deadlines

  • Deadlines are set when you assign the task
  • The deadline is enforced — students cannot submit after it passes
  • Deadlines are displayed in the timezone configured in your organization settings

Email Notifications

When you assign a task, each student receives an email containing:

  • The task title
  • The deadline
  • A unique submission link

The email status (sent, pending, failed) is visible in your assignment overview. If an email fails, you can resend it.

Re-assigning Tasks

You can assign the same task to different classes or students at different times. Each assignment is tracked independently, so you can reuse tasks across groups or academic terms.
