The system creates your assignment. If this is an online assignment, Test Builder opens. You use
Test Builder to add content to the assignment. For details on this process, see Chapter 3,
“Adding content to online assignments.”
Importing an assignment
If your Coursework portlet is organized by unit, and if you previously have saved an assignment to
your File Cabinet, you can import a copy of it into any other course context.
If your Coursework is organized by type, you will need to set the Organize by drop-down list to
Unit in order to import an assignment.
If you want to import an assignment from a course cartridge, you must first load it into the Course
Content Import (CCI) portlet. For details, see Chapter 28, “Importing from course cartridges.”
To import an assignment from the File Cabinet:
1 If you haven’t already done so, display the Coursework portlet instance for the course section, as
described in “Navigating to the Coursework portlet” on page 44.
2 Locate the unit to which you want to add an assignment. If the portlet is not set up to display
assignments by unit, set the Organize by drop-down list to Unit.
3 In the appropriate unit, click Import test from File Cabinet. Note that this link uses the word
“test” to mean “assignment.” It does not matter whether the assignment you want to import is
actually classified as a test.
The system displays a screen titled Coursework - Import Test. It lists all the assignments you
have saved to your File Cabinet.
4 Select the assignment(s) that you want to import.
5 Click Import Selected.
The system adds the items you selected to which unit you selected in 3. By default, the
assignment is not active and not visible to students.
6 If you want to modify any aspect of the assignment, see either of the following as appropriate:
