How do I create assignment folders to collect student work in D2L?

These instructions assume you have already logged in to D2L and entered the course in which you wish to work.

The video below describes how to create a new Assignment from the Content Area of a Course. Alternatively you may first go to the assignments tool, click "New Assignment" button and follow directions from :49 of the video playback.

Note: when you create an assignment folder and designate a "Grade Out Of" for the assignment, a Grade item for that assignment will be automatically created. If you do not want the assignment to be associated to a grade item, you must click on "In Gradebook" and change to "Not in Grades".

Create Assignment Folders

(optional / recommended) associate your course discussions, quizzes and assignments to grade items. You may enter scores and feedback for an activity associated to grades, at the activity location rather than at the Grades tool. Those scores will then be visible at the associated Grade item.
