Microsoft Teams: Creating Assignments

YouTube video

When you create a CLASS Team you have the option to create assignments, give feedback and assign grades.

Two Places

You can find assignments in Microsoft Teams in 2 places. On the left hand side one of the icons is “Assignments.” If you can not find this it is because your Teams account is not an EDU account. The other place to find Teams assignments is on the General channel of the class team. Look at the tabs along the top of the General channel. The Assignments tab may be collapsed, click on the more option to view the tab.

Find assignments on the left or on the general channel
