There are THREE ways to create an assignment on Albert:
Assign questions: quickly assign all of the questions from a unit or topic or hand-select questions to assign
Smart assign: set the criteria and we’ll create the assignment for you
Folders: select questions from multiple units and subjects
Assign Questions
You can start the process of assigning selected questions from any topic or subtopic in just a few clicks. This is the best way to create a customized assignment because you can use Albert's guide levels, search, and filter features to quickly find and assign questions.
How to Assign questions:
Go to the subject that you would like to create an assignment for (e.g. AP Biology).
Click into any topic or sub-topic you would like to assign questions from.
Select the desired questions or the entire question list.
Click Assign, then click Assign your selection
Select the appropriate classes or students to whom you want to assign questions. After doing so, click Next.
Fill out the required assignment options by creating a title and a due date, then click the green Submit button at the bottom of the page.
[Pro-tip]: Click the ellipses next to a topic or subtopic and select Assign All. Follow steps 5 and 6 to create an assignment with every question from the topic.
Note: This method does not save questions to a folder. If you would like to save an assignment as a folder for future use, follow the directions in this help center article.
Smart Assign
Select a unit, topic, or hand-selected questions and allow Albert to create an assignment with similar questions. This method is great if you know the assignment topic you want but don’t want to search through the whole unit or topic to locate them.
How to Smart Assign:
Go to the subject that you would like to create an assignment for (e.g. AP Biology).
Click into the unit or topic your class is studying.
Click Assign then click Smart Assign
Choose the number of questions you would like in your assignment. After doing so, click Continue.
Select the appropriate classes or students to whom you want to assign questions. After doing so, click Next.
Fill out the required assignment options by creating a title and a due date, then click the green Submit button at the bottom of the page.
[Pro-tip]: Click the three dots to the right of any topic or subtopic to Smart Assign from there or Smart Assign directly from a Folder.
Note: Students will all be assigned the same questions. If you would like to randomize the question order, you can do so on the Assignment Options page.
Folders
You can add questions across multiple units and subjects by creating a folder. Folders are saved year-to-year and can further be edited to fit individual student needs.
How to create a Folder:
Go to the subject you would like to create an assignment for (e.g. AP Biology).
Click on a topic or subtopic.
Select desired questions from the question list.
