How to Assign an Assignment to Students

You can send assignments to students from the following places on Edcite:

  1. Assignments Library

  2. Assignment Editor

  3. My Assignments page

  4. Collections page

  5. Common Assessments page (Edcite Schools only)

The Assignment Scheduler works the same way in most locations. Follow the directions below based on where you are starting.


1) Sending from the Assignments Library

The Assignments Library contains teacher-created assignments that have been shared to the public library, as well as curated assignments such as state-aligned assessments, OER resources, and partner content (e.g., Student Achievement Partners and Eureka Math). You can assign these assignments as-is, save them to your account, or modify them before assigning.

Step 1: Click Assign

Find the assignment you want and click the Assign button.


Step 2: Use the Assignment Scheduler

Choose how you want to send the assignment:

  • Assign to Classes – Select one or more classes

  • Assign to Students – Select individual students

  • Assign to Groups – Select student groups

  • Assign with Quick Link – Share the link in Google Classroom or display it for students (more info on using Quick Links here)

✔ Check the box next to your selection
✔ (Optional) Set a start and end date/time
✔ Click Assign


Step 3: Confirmation

After assigning, you will see a confirmation box with three options:

  • Close – Return to the Library

  • Manage Assignment – Add more classes, students, or groups

  • View Live Progress – Monitor student progress in real time


2) Sending from the Assignment Editor

If you are creating or editing an assignment, you can assign it directly from the Assignment Editor.

Step 1: Click Assign

In the upper area of the Assignment Editor, click the Assign button.


Step 2: Use the Assignment Scheduler

The same Assignment Scheduler will open.

  • Select Classes, Students, Groups, or Assign with Link

  • Check the appropriate box

  • (Optional) Set start and end dates/times

  • Click Assign

Step 3: Confirmation

You will see the same confirmation options:

  • Close

  • Manage Assignment

  • View Live Progress


3) Sending from My Assignments

The My Assignments page includes:

  • Saved Library assignments

  • Saved Collection assignments

  • Assignments you created

  • Assignments shared with you

Step 1: Open the Actions Menu

Click the three dots next to the assignment.

Step 2: Click Assign


Step 3: Use the Assignment Scheduler

After assigning, you can:

  • Close

  • View Live Progress


4) Sending from a Collection

A Collection is a group of assignments.

You can assign a single assignment from a Collection (using the same steps as the Library), or schedule the entire Collection at once.

To Assign the Entire Collection:

  1. Click Schedule

  2. Select your Class(es) from the dropdown menu

  3. Choose a Start Date and Time

  4. Select Recurring Days (if desired)

  5. Choose how many days after the start date the assignments should close

  6. (Optional) Adjust dates for individual assignments or remove assignments as needed

  7. Click Assign

All assignments in the Collection will now be scheduled.
