Creating an assignment on Edmodo is simple. Assignment Posts will show up in the Class/Group members' Group or Class Stream and will automatically be added to the students' Planners. The Class/Group members can easily submit their assignments in Edmodo.

1. In your Class Page, click the Create button located on the right side of the group information panel.

2. From the drop-down menu, select Assignment, and click New on the list that will appear.

3. In the assignment creation page, provide the Assignment Title and the Instructions your students will read before taking the assignment.

4. Click the Attach Files, Add Link, or Add from Library icons to attach any items to the Assignment. You can attach images, videos, MP3s, PDFs, links, and more file types from your Edmodo Library or your computer. Note that images attached to assignments may have lower resolution.

5. Once done, click the Assign button.

6. In the pop-up menu that will appear, define to whom the Assignment will be assigned. By default, it is assigned to the whole class to which the Assignment was made. Click on the Assign To field to assign the Assignment to specific users in the class, and even to other classes you manage. Note that Assignments assigned to individual students rather than a class or a small group, and the submissions to these Assignments can only be seen or accessed by you and not by co-teachers of your class.

7. Under Due on, set a deadline for submission by selecting a date and setting a time.

8. Check the Lock after due date box to restrict students from submitting assignments after the due date.

9. Check the Add to Gradebook (Progress) box to include the students’ scores in the class/group Progress Book. Note that if you sent an Assignment to individual students instead of a whole class/group, it will not show up automatically in the Progress Book.

10. Click Schedule for later to select a date and time when the Assignment will be sent to the selected users. Make sure the time zone listed in your account settings is the same for all teachers and students. Scheduled assignments can be accessed by clicking View all classwork on the right side of the Class page under What’s Due, and going to the scheduled tab.
