To unlock an assignment on Amplify, you need to access the settings for the specific lesson or assessment within your course and select the relevant class sections.
How to Unlock an Assignment on Amplify
Making an assignment or assessment accessible to your students on the Amplify platform is a straightforward process that ensures they can view and complete the required work.
Step-by-Step Guide to Unlocking Assignments
Follow these steps to successfully unlock an assignment for your students:
- Locate the Assignment: First, navigate to the specific lesson or assessment that you wish to unlock. These are typically presented as distinct lesson thumbnails within your Amplify course interface.
- Access the Settings Bar: At the very bottom of the chosen lesson thumbnail, you will find an orange Settings bar. Click on this bar to reveal the unlock options.
- Select Class Sections: After clicking the orange Settings bar, you will be prompted to select the particular class sections for which you intend to unlock the assignment. Choose all the relevant sections that need access.
- Confirm Unlocked Status: Once you have made your selections, the settings bar at the bottom of the lesson thumbnail will visibly change from orange to gray, and you will see a clear unlocked lock icon. This visual confirmation indicates that the assignment is now open and accessible to the students in the selected classes.
Key Considerations for Managing Assignments
- Flexibility in Management: Amplify allows educators to lock and unlock assignments multiple times as needed throughout the learning period. This flexibility is beneficial for managing pacing or providing extended access.
- No Impact on Student Data: It's important to note that locking or unlocking an assignment does not affect existing student responses. Any work students have already completed or progress they've made on the assignment will remain saved and intact, regardless of the current lock status. This ensures data integrity and allows for dynamic assignment management without concern for lost student work.
