Create office simulation assignments

Updated 02 Apr 2024

If available in your course, create office simulation assignments to train and assess your students on Microsoft® Office content. Student results are automatically scored and saved to the gradebook.

First, make sure to import pre-built assignments before you create your own assignments.

Important: Students have unlimited attempts on homework assignments. If a student's second attempt score is lower than the first attempt score, a message shows with options to continue or discard. It's best practice to select Discard. If they continue, the lower score saves to the gradebook.
