Send an app or app activity in Schoolwork
Some of the most useful educational content is found in apps. With Schoolwork, you can browse supported apps to find content that fits your curriculum, then share specific app activities with your students.
Students, especially younger ones, often have a hard time finding the activities that you have sent. Schoolwork makes it easier to direct students to the right app and the right place in the right app. In a single tap, they can go directly to the right activity.
Send an app or app activity
In the Schoolwork app
, tap 
in the top right-hand corner of the window.Tap Assign an App or App Activity, then view and add apps installed on your iPad, including progress-reporting apps.
For some progress-reporting apps, you might need to walk through the content you want to include in order to see the content available as Schoolwork activities. To do this, open and run the app on your iPad, then explore the content within the app. As you do so, the content becomes available as Schoolwork activities. For example, to send a Schoolwork activity for your students to take a quiz in an app and report their progress, you might need to first open the quiz when signed in with your teacher account.
Tap the app with activities you want to send to your students.
Do one of the following:
To add the entire app as a timed app activity, tap Set Time, specify a minimum time, tap Done, then tap Done again.
When you create a timed app activity and set a time, Schoolwork automatically marks the activity as Done when a student uses the app for the amount of time you specified. Schoolwork only reports progress for the time you specified, even if a student uses the app for a longer amount of time.
To add an activity within the app, navigate to the activity you want, tap
