Course Assignment Linking

📙 Knowledge Base Tip: Learn more about the platform’s Assignment Linking feature and its benefits.

To perform assignment linking at the course level, navigate to the Course Homepage and select Assignment Linking from the left-hand menu. To ensure term-to-term consistency and avoid broken links, faculty should ensure that they only perform assignment linking through the institution’s Learning Management System (LMS).

1. Identify the outcome to either link available assignments or review previously linked assignments. Click the pencil to select available assignments.

   

2. The Manage Linked Assignments drawer will populate with a list of all course assignments. Check the box next to each assignment to link assignments to the selected outcome.
   Product Tip: Assignments from the Learning Management System (LMS) will not be displayed for Course Level Assignment Linking.

   

3. The individual weight allocated to each assignment will be automatically calculated although assignment weights can be distributed manually as needed. If the total weight of all selected assignments does not equal 100%, the Save Links button will be unavailable until the total weight equals 100%.

   

   1. If an assignment contains rubric criteria or quiz questions, clicking Criteria^ will display associated rubric criteria or quiz questions available for linking to the outcome. Once criteria/quiz questions have been selected, individual weights allocated to each criteria will be automatically calculated, although criteria weights can be distributed manually as needed.

      

4. To complete assignment linking, click Save to link the assignment(s) and/or rubric criteria to the selected outcome.
