Homework allows you to monitor student progress on asynchronous assignments. Each lesson has a corresponding homework assignment that is completed asynchronously by the student.
To assign homework, your student must be enrolled in a lesson.
The easiest way to assign homework is when prompted by the platform after clicking 'Close Classroom'
After clicking 'Close Classroom' an 'Assign Homework' window pops up
- Keep the tick if you want to assign the homework or uncheck the box if not.
- Enter a due date (optional - when the due date is past, your student will lose access to the assignment!)
- Click Assign Homework.
Preview the homework while teaching a lesson by clicking 'Homework'
The homework opens in a preview tab visible only to the teacher. Close the tab after previewing to be taken back to the classroom.

Many teachers use a Flipped Classroom approach so that students can preview the material before class.
To do this, enroll a student in a lesson and close the classroom. This gives them access to the slides and allows them to preview the material before class. If you choose to assign homework when closing the classroom, your students can complete this assignment before class too.
If you closed the classroom and forgot to assign homework, you can easily assign it by following the same steps again.
- Launch lesson
- Enroll students/class
- Immediately close the classroom
- Assign homework
or
- Navigate to the student profile
- Locate the lesson in 'Lesson History'
- Click the + sign in the 'Action' column
