Assignments in Showbie are where you keep track of the work students do. To create an assignment, go to your class first:

  • Tap the wrench

  • Tap New Assignment

  • Type in your assignment’s name, description, set a due date, choose your grading format, set student access and then tap Save

Creating a description for your assignment is useful when it comes to identifying and organizing assignments. If enabled by your school, Showbie's AI Feedback Assistant can also use this information to improve feedback you give your students!

Other Assignment Settings

Once you have made an assignment, editing assignment settings brings up new options: Edit Schedule, Export Grades, and Copy Assignment. Find out more about what they mean here.

Active Assignment Limit

As a Pro teacher, you'll be able to have an unlimited number of active assignments. Basic Teachers will be able to have up to 10 active assignments. Archive an assignment to reduce the number of active assignments you have. You'll get a message that looks like this:

You can see how many active assignments you have in the bottom corner next to your sidebar or in your profile.
