This productive, time-saving tech tip allows you to copy assignments between sections in Virtual Campus and In-Person classes. You can also use this tip to copy assignments between quarters (such as Q1 and Q2 this year for high school teachers with the same prep) and even between school years!
To do this, go to Gradebook and add an assignment as you normally would in your Gradebook. After you have added the assignment in a section:
- Open Settings in Gradebook, in blue on the left side.
- Under Grade Book Tools, click on Assignment Copier.
- Under Source, check the assignments you want to copy.
- Under Destination, click on the drop-down menu in Section to select the appropriate section to copy to. Scroll down to look for your Virtual Campus section. Repeated assignments will be grayed out in the Source column. Select Next at the bottom right-hand corner (Assignment Copier: Step 1)
- Change the Start and End dates as necessary (Assignment Copier: Step 2). Select Next.
- Change Category, Points, Multiplier as necessary (Assignment Copier: Step 3). Select Save.
- You will receive confirmation that your copy is complete.
Other helpful tips:
- You can only copy to one section at a time (not to multiple sections)
- You do not have to be in the Gradebook section to copy from. You can change the Source section in the drop-down menu if you are in the wrong section.
- Change the year drop-down menu if you want to change the year of the Source and/or Destination
