From your course homepage, in the Activity Feed, click Create a post.
Click the Assignment tab.
Enter a title and instructions, choose a submission type, a completion type, set a due date, and select the Add to Grades check box. Tip: For instructions, you can add web links by copying and pasting the URLs. Web links show a thumbnail and description, if available. If you add a remote plug-in via a Quicklink, the plug-in renders inline as an embedded attachment, allowing users to view the material without navigating away from Activity Feed.
If your course includes sections, use the Send To dropdown menu to select which section(s) you want to access the assignment. A section specific release condition is automatically associated to the assignment.
