Managing assignment content in a coordinated course

Making an assignment in a coordinator section available to member sections

To make an assignment in a coordinator section available to member sections, it must be published. To publish an assignment:

1. Go to the coordinator course and select the Assignments tab.
2. Multi-select assignments.
3. Select Publish assignments from the toolbar. A copy of each assignment will automatically be created in each member course. Note that availability dates are not copied over into member assignments. Additionally, a member assignment is initially hidden from students and member course owners should make assignments available to students based on their own course schedules.

Synchronizing changes to an assignment in a coordinator section with member sections

To propagate changes made within an assignment in a coordinator section to corresponding member assignments, publish the assignment.

1. Go to the coordinator course and select the Assignments tab.
2. Multi-select assignments.
3. Select Publish assignments from the toolbar. All content-based changes will automatically be synchronized in the corresponding assignment in the member section. Students who have started work on the assignment will also receive the changes. Note that student assignment updates can take some time to fully synchronize depending on the number of students and assignments.
