Assignments are the main workspace where teaching and learning happen in Showbie. Each assignment provides a dedicated space for a lesson, homework, project, or ongoing activity where you as the teacher can:
Share instructions, files, links, and other learning resources.
Collect student work and submissions.
Give feedback using comments, annotations, voice notes, and grades.
Track student progress in one organized place.
To create an assignment, first open your class, then:
Tap the plus (+) icon menu and select Assignment.
Then, from the New Assignment screen, 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.
Next Steps:
After creating an assignment, you'll have a dedicated workspace where you can communicate with your class, upload learning materials, review student submissions, and provide individualized feedback. Everything related to that activity stays together in one place, making it easy to manage learning from start to finish.
Once your assignment is created, you will see the Materials List. Here you can post comments and share updates with your entire class or individual students. Use the Sharing new posts with drop-down menu to choose who can see each post before you publish it.
In this Materials List you can use the plus (+) icon to post documents, images, assessments, and other media/file types.
