Assign/Unassign

Assign or unassign an asset to students. When an asset is assigned, a checkmark appears in the Assigned column. Assigning an asset changes the asset into an assignment that must be completed by all students. Only assigned assets are calculated in the gradebook's grade-to-date (course or folder average) column.

If you unassign an asset after students submit work, student grades are unchanged.

If you delete an asset after students submit work, the column for that assignment is removed from the gradebook. Additionally, gradebook calculations and reports do not include scores from that asset.

Note: Assign/Unassign is available only if enabled in your course. If available, you can enable this feature for teaching assistants.

For example, if you select the checkbox for a folder that contains three assets, it counts as one asset. However, when you paste the folder, it creates a copy of the folder and all the assets in it.
