Sharing assignments with your colleagues allows teachers to save time and enables collaborative data reviews.
Two Ways to Share
Albert offers two methods for sharing assignments with colleagues at your school or district:
Shared Assignments (Recommended): Share the actual assignment so multiple teachers contribute to unified reporting
Folder Sharing: Create copies of assignment questions for teachers to build their own separate assignments Choose the method that best fits your collaboration needs.
Which Method Should I Use?
Use Shared Assignment Links when:
You want unified reporting across all participating classes.
Multiple teachers are delivering the same assignment.
You're coordinating department-wide assignments.
You want to maintain one assignment record for admins.
Use Folder Sharing when:
Teachers want to customize the assignment extensively.
You're sharing large collections of questions rather than complete assignments.
Teachers prefer to maintain separate assignment records.
You're sharing with teachers outside your school/district.
Method 1: Share Assignment Link (Recommended)
Use this method when you want multiple teachers to assign the same assignment to their classes and create a unified reporting for admins.
To share an assignment:
Find the assignment you wish to share and open the editor.
From within the class assignment list, click Actions and then Edit Settings.
OR from the assignments tab, click the assignment.
Click the Share tab.
In the "Share with Educators" section, click Copy Link.
Send the link to other approved teachers at your school or district.
When colleagues use your link:
They can add their own classrooms to your assignment
They can customize settings for their specific students
They cannot edit the assignment name or default settings
All assignment data appears in a consolidated report for admins
Note: Only approved educators at your school or district can access shared assignment links.
Method 2: Share Assignment Questions via a Folder
Saving an Albert assignment to a folder will allow you to share a copy of the assignment with other approved Albert teachers. Use this method when you want colleagues to create their own separate assignments using your questions. Each teacher will have a distinct assignment in reports.
There are several ways to create a folder from an assignment:
From an individual class:
Click into the desired class and navigate to the Assignments sub-tab.
To create your folder, follow these steps:
Find the assignment you wish to convert to a folder.
Click Actions.
Select Save Questions to Folder.
Choose to add questions to an existing folder or create a new folder.
Click on the Assignments tab from the top blue tool bar and select the Folders tab to view, edit, share, or assign your folder.
From the Assignments tab:
Click on the Assignments tab from the top blue toolbar and select Assignments.
Click the three vertical dots all the way to the right of the screen.
Select Save Questions to Folder to add questions to an existing folder or create a new one.
Your folders are available by clicking Folders on the left side of the screen.
Share Folder Link with Colleague
Navigate to the Folders tab in the Assignments tab.
Click the kabobs next to your folder and select Copy Link.
Paste the link in an email to another Albert teacher.
Share Folder Link from the Default Editor
Navigate to the Folders tab in the Assignments tab.
Click the kabobs next to your folder and select Default Editor.
Click Copy share link, then paste the link in an email to another Albert teacher.
Share Folder Link from the Assignment Builder
Navigate to the Folders tab in the Assignments tab.
Click the kabobs next to your folder and select Assignment Builder.
Click the Share icon in the top right, then click Copy.
Paste the link in an email to another Albert teacher.
When colleagues use your folder link:
Once another teacher has accessed your folder link, Albert creates an identical copy of the folder on their Albert account.
Any changes the other teacher makes to their folder will not impact your original shared folder.
This method creates separate assignments for each teacher, which appear as individual entries in administrative reports. If you want unified reporting, use the shared assignment link method above.
