The Assignment Builder Drafts feature allows teachers to save their incomplete assignments as drafts, which can be accessed later without losing any progress made. Teachers can conveniently store their unfinished assignments with the Drafts option, and return to it later to finalize and assign it to their students. This allows teachers to add and refine lessons as needed, without having to assign them to students immediately.
The Assignment Builder screen separates the content into two categories: items that have been assigned to students, found in the Assigned view, and items that are yet to be assigned, located in the Drafts view.
The Drafts view enables educators to use the subjects dropdown menu to filter drafts by subject or search for a draft by title in the search box. The Lessons column contains the number of lessons in the draft. Select more options ( ) to the right of the draft row to either update or delete the draft. Click the lesson title to return to the Lesson Explorer. If there are no drafts for the selected subject, access the lesson explorer to start creating an assignment.
To create drafts:
- Click Assignment Builder.
- Select a Subject and Enrolled Grade, then click Access Lesson Explorer.
