Assignments are a great tool to keep your students engaged and reinforce the material you're delivering in class. Assignments can be used to determine a student's level of understanding of a given skill as a diagnostic or summative assessment. Assignments have the following features:
- Ability to assign multiple skills within a single Assignments
- Ability to set the time limit on Assignments, with a limit of 30 days
- Ability to schedule Assignments in advance
- Ability to provide the Assignments to the whole class, individual students, or groups of students as selected by you
- Detailed reporting, displaying the questions asked and answers given (if incorrect)
- No adaptive element restrictions - students will encounter all assigned questions regardless of their Placement Test results and personalized algorithmic content
Note: Some skills, such as those that contain large graphics, may not display on smaller mobile device screens due to size restrictions. If a student appears to be skipping questions in your Assignment, try playing Prodigy on a ChromeBook, laptop, or desktop PC at https://play.prodigygame.com.
