The Assignment Builder enables teachers to prepare and edit personalized assignments for students by providing access to preview all K-12 lessons. These assignments may serve as supplementary materials to complement students' individualized learning paths, offer extra practice opportunities, or provide additional context and support to help students master a specific subject. Teachers have the flexibility to assign these tasks to individual students, multiple students, or an entire class. By using the Assignment Builder, teachers can use more control over the selection and sequence of lessons provided to students as compared to the auto-assigned learning paths.
The differences between Assignment Builder lessons and the lessons contained in the learning paths are explained in the following table.
Learning Path and Assignment Lesson Differences:
| Assignments | Learning Paths | |
|---|---|---|
| Student Access | My Assignments section in the student portal | Subject section in the student portal |
| Created by | Teacher | Generated based on the assessment results |
| Mastery Check | At the end of a lesson | At the beginning of a lesson |
| Number of Mastery Checks | One | One or more |
| Due Date | Optional | None |
| No longer available to Students | Teacher closes or deletes, or upon student completion | Closed upon student completion of Passed or Not Passed |
| Educator View of Student Data | Student progress displayed in Assignment Summary | Student progress shows in reports |
| Order of lessons | Arranged by Teacher and can be edited | Arranged by Learning Path automatically based on Assessment results, and cannot be changed |

- Lesson Explorer to find and preview lessons

Student Experience
Students who have assignments will see a My Assignments card on their homepage. By clicking it, they will be directed to the My Assignments page, where they can access their new or ongoing assignments. After selecting a particular assignment, they will be taken to their course map, which presents the lessons in the order specified by the teacher. If a student exits a lesson before completing it, they will resume where they left off when they return to that specific assignment.
