Assignment templates are groups of assignment settings that make setting up assignments easier. When you apply an assignment template to an assignment, those values are copied into the assignment. Assignment templates make it possible to ensure that all assignments of a given type share a consistent configuration.
Assignment templates are specific, or "local", to a given course. When a new section is created, two blank assignment templates, homework and test, are created. You can edit these templates and create additional templates. Here are some additional articles to get started:

- Setting a default assignment template
- Applying an assignment template to an assignment
