      Homework Assignments

      Homework Assignments

      The Homework Assignments feature allows you to share materials with students, view all materials that have been shared, and check completion.

      This feature allows you to:

      • Generate a link that enables students to access individual Everyday Speech materials
      • View all assignments sent to students to complete
      • View the date and time (in your local time) the material was shared
      • Confirm that students have completed the assignment
      • Check your student's answers if they complete a play-on-screen activity
      • See the date that students completed the assignments

      Please note that the Homework Assignments feature is available in the Social Communication Curriculum only, and may not be available on your plan.

      Sending Homework

      Students do not need an Everyday Speech account to view the homework links!

      1. Click the button labeled Send Homework on any material. You can find this button in the Browse All Materials view, in your Playlists, or in the material itself.
      2. Link the homework to an existing student or group profile. 
      3. Click the yellow "Copy Homework Link" button to save the link to your device's short term memory. As long as you don't copy anything else, the link is ready to be pasted.
      4. Paste the link in an email/message to your students by right-clicking your mouse and clicking "Paste" or selecting "control"/"command" + "V" on your keyboard.
       

      You will only be able to share this link with students by clicking the yellow Copy Homework Link button. Copying the URL from the browser will not allow students to access the materials.

      How to track student completion

      Once you have sent the homework link to students, students can click on the link to start their homework!

      Limited Student Access

      Students will only have access to the material you shared, with no ability to navigate to other materials or elsewhere in your account. If you want to share multiple materials, we recommend you send multiple links, with one for each material. 

       

      1. Students will be prompted to enter their first name and last initial before beginning the assignment

      2. Once the assignment is complete, the assignment will be marked as completed in your "Homework Assignments" page, and student answers will also be submitted if applicable.

       

      Seeing your student's homework progress

      By visiting Toolkit and then Homework Assignments, you can:
      • See which students you sent the materials to
      • Copy the homework link again to share with other students
      • See the status of the assignment (pending means not finished, complete means finished)
      • Add student profiles to the homework assignment (this does not send the homework to them)
      • Unlink a student from the homework assignment
