You will then be taken to a new screen where you can:
Enter the activity name and description
Set a due date
Choose a grading format
Once you’ve completed these steps, tap Create Assignment.
💡Creating a description for your assignment helps you identify and organize it more effectively. If your school has enabled Showbie’s AI Feedback Assistant, it can also use this information to enhance the feedback you provide to students.
