Personalized homework assignments

Updated 16 Jan 2024

You can assign homework personalized for each student based on their performance on assessments. Personalized homework excludes material they have already mastered:

  • Only questions from objectives that the student did not master show in the homework.
  • Students earn automatic credit for questions from objectives they mastered on the test or quiz.

An assignment cannot be personalized after a student has worked on it.

  1. On step 1 of the assignment creation wizard, select Options for Personalization.
  2. Enable Personalized Homework.
  3. Select the prerequisite assessment from the list. 

Note: Do not select personalization options when you create a homework that includes media. Instead, create the assignment with the media questions and then edit the assignment to personalize it.

When students take the prerequisite assessment, they automatically receive credit for the questions from objectives they mastered. In their homework overview, questions from the objectives they mastered are shown as completed and the homework has an initial grade.

Personalized homework assignments are not updated when a student makes additional attempts at the prerequisite assessment. To regenerate homework based on subsequent attempts at the prerequisite assessment , delete the results of the homework.

When you create a personalized homework, questions from the assessment are automatically included, including those already mastered. To edit the available questions:

  1. Go to step 2 of the assignment wizard.
  2. Remove any questions you want to exclude from the homework.

Personalized homework works with Skill Builder, if selected.
