How do I create assignments that include multiple section or page ranges?

Overview

When you create an assignment, you will be prompted to select content. Using the Add another part button, you can add the following:

1. Multiple sections from the same piece of content, and/or
2. Multiple different content items from your library.

Assigning multiple sections or page ranges from the same content

If you would like to create a single assignment with multiple page or section ranges from the same content (e.g., read pages 1-10 and 56-58), click Add another part to build a multipart assignment.  Each "part" is a page range or section range. You can select sections from the table of contents, or you can choose specific page ranges. 

Assigning different library items 

If you would like to create a multipart assignment with different library items, click Add another part.  For each Part, click Content to assign and select your desired material. You can still define the page range or section during this process.

You can also use the "Select multiple" tool to assign multiple items together directly from your library.

Gate multipart assignment progress based on quiz completion

When creating a multipart assignment, under Options, you can enable Gate assignment based on quiz progress. This requires students to complete a quiz before moving to the next part of a multipart assignment.

Viewing a multi-part assignment

When you create a multipart assignment, students will see one part at a time, and can navigate between the parts using the Next part button at the top and bottom of each assignment part, or clicking on the Assignment Information to see all quickly navigate through all parts. If an assignment is gated, students will not be able to see the part(s) after a quiz until they have completed the quiz. 

Scoring

Multipart assignments are graded as a single assignment. For example, if you require 5 comments for full credit, then students can distribute their 5 comments in any way they like among each of the parts.  For this reason, we generally suggest that you specify custom scoring for when creating multi-part assignments to ensure that your automatic scoring criteria fits your goals.
