assignment

A posting from a teacher to a student. An assignment can include announcements, reminders, instructions, assigned activities or requests for work. Assignments can consist of a list of recipients (an entire class or one or more students in a class), an assignment title, one or more activities and instructions. A recipient and assignment title are required; all other information is optional. You can also specify an assignment deadline. If you add a deadline, any activities or work a student submits after the deadline are late.

Teachers can publish an assignment, schedule an assignment to publish at a later time or save an assignment as a draft until they are ready to publish at a later time.
