When setting up assignments in Actively Learn using Open Learning, all changes or assignment settings must be made in Actively Learn. After making any changes to an assignment in Actively Learn, all updates will automatically be synced to the assignment in Open Learning the next time the class is opened.
Assigning Assignments
Open the Actively Learn Stand-Alone or Add-On class you would like to assign content in.
In the course, you can go to the Actively Learn catalog directly by clicking on the link in the side bar menu or by click on the Actively Learn tile under Additional Resources.
You will be taken to the main catalog page in Actively Learn, and you can assign content to your class from here.
To assign content, search the title you want to assign and click the "+" icon.
An assignment window will pop up, select the class the assignment is for and if you want to assign the text to the full class or to individual students.
Learn more about assigning content to individual students here.
When you scroll down in the window, you can also select a due date for the assignment and adjust the reading settings for the assignment. These settings will automatically sync over to Open Learning once they are set in Actively Learn. If you need to make changes to these settings or to the due date, then those updates will need to be made in Actively Learn.

Once you are done adjusting your settings, click on the 'Assign' button to assign the text to your class. The text will appear in your class's assignments and students can start working in the assignment.
When you switch over to your class in Open Learning, the new assignment will sync automatically with your due date and reading settings and be available in your Opening Learning class right away.
If you click on the assignment title in Open Learning, you will be launched directly into the assignment in Actively Learn.
This is where you can view your student's work in the assignment and grade their work. If you would like to adjust the grading settings or point values for questions, then you will need to make those adjustments in Actively Learn.
