How to Use Assignments in Microsoft Teams: Quick 12-Minute Tutorial for Teachers

Sara Wanasek

Using Microsoft Teams in the classroom gained popularity during the pandemic. However, it can, and is, being used in both online and physical classrooms today. As a learning management tool, Teams works seamlessly with other Microsoft products like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint which are classic favorites for students and teachers alike.

This multi-functional tool allows you to stay in touch with your students not only through video calls, but with chats, files, and assignments in Microsoft Teams. Teams can seem daunting when you first begin to use it, but it really is quite simple and easy to use. To make it seem less intimidating, we have broken down and explained some main features of Teams separately. Here are links to our other guides on features of Microsoft Teams:

• Microsoft Teams for Online Teaching – A Guide for Teachers
• Using Breakout Rooms in Microsoft Teams  
• Assignments in Teams
• Class Notebook in Microsoft Teams
• 15 of the Best Teams Tips and Tricks .

Below is a quick, everything-you-need-to-know guide on assignments in Microsoft Teams. Let’s get started!

Create an Assignment in Microsoft Teams

To begin creating assignments in Microsoft Teams, you first need to be sure of two things:

• You are logged in with a Microsoft EDU account
• The Team you have created is a Class Team type

If both of those things are complete you will be able to see the Assignments tab on the side ribbon and on the top ribbon in the General channel. If you need help getting to know the interface and basics of Teams, check out our Teams Guide for Teachers.

Start a New Assignment

Now, to create your assignment, click on the Assignments tab from the top ribbon under your General Channel. Click Create , and then Assignment , to begin your first assignment. You can explore creating a quiz with the help of Microsoft Forms and creating an assignment based on a pre-existing assignment another time.

Add Assignment Details

In your new assignment, add a title and a description to let your students know what to do to complete the assignment.

If you prefer to attach the instructions as a document, or have supporting materials to the assignment, you can attach them under the Add Resources link. Teams allows you to attach files in many different ways: through your OneDrive, ClassNoteBook, from a link, by creating a new file, or from uploading a document from your computer.

When you attach a resource, you have the option to allow students to edit it or not. By default, they cannot edit; however, if you prefer to change this, just click on the three dots at the end of the resource and click, Students edit their own copy. Now, when students edit this file, a new copy will be made for them, and it is automatically attached to this assignment for an easy turn-in.

Set Points and a Rubric

To easily grade this assignment in Teams, assign the number of points it is worth, or add a rubric . Similar to creating assignments, you can use a pre-existing rubric, upload one, or create a new one.

Creating a new rubric is very customizable so you are able to add all the information your students need to complete the assignment. Just add a title , and a description , then fill in the rest of the rubric. If you need more categories , just click the plus button at the end of the columns, or after the bottom row. In addition, you can assign points to each category of the rubric.

Choose Students to Assign the Work to

The next step in creating an assignment is to assign it to your students. You can assign it to all of them, or a certain student(s) for more individualized work. Just click Assign to All, or go through the list and click the students you would like to assign this to.

Give a Due Date & Close Date

In Teams, there are two different categories of dates for when the assignment is due.

Due Date: This is when the assignment is due, however, students are still able to turn in the assignment late, after the due date has passed.

Close Date: This is when the assignment closes and no more submissions are allowed.

To set both of these, and schedule this assignment for the future, click Edit under the Due Date section. To set a Close Date , click the checkbox on the side and set the date.

When all of your setups are complete, back at the top of the page, click assign, or save for later if it still needs a bit more work.

How Students Can Turn in Assignments

After you assign an assignment, students will receive a notification. They are able to view the assignment in the General Channel or on the Assignment tabs.

The student’s view of the assignment is very similar to the teacher’s view. They will see the Due Date and Close Date, the instructions, any files you have attached, and a rubric if there is one.

Students can begin their assignments right away in Teams if you have attached a document for them to work on. In the example below, students would be using PowerPoint on their desktops simultaneously with ClassPoint to make their presentations more interactive. As they work, their changes will be saved automatically. If you don’t have a document attached, students can upload and attach their work instead.

When they have completed their work, they just need to click Turn In. They will see a fun animation appear indicating the turn-in is successful.

How to Grade Assignments

Once students have turned in their work, you will receive a notification. Now, you can easily look over and grade their work. Click into an assignment to view how many students have turned in their work, how many need grading, and how many you have already graded.

To grade an assignment, click on the Turned in status. Here, you are able to view their work alongside a tab for you to give them feedback. If you have a rubric , it will open for you to assign the points for each category. Scrolling down, you can leave feedback to let them know what they excelled at and what needs more work.

When the grading is completed, you can return it to the student. They can view your feedback, make changes, and turn it in again if necessary.

To easily jump between students for a continuous grading experience, click the arrows on the side of the student’s name, or click on the student’s name for a drop-down menu of your other students.

Export Grade Data

In Teams, it is really easy to export data, especially for assignments. You can export data for certain assignments, in addition to exporting all assignments and student grade data. This can be done from the Grades pivot on the top toolbar. You will see a complete list of your students, and of each assignment on this tab that you have assigned throughout the year.

Frequently Asked Questions

And that completes this tutorial on Assignments in Microsoft Teams! There is plenty you can do with this feature on Teams to make it suitable for your students and classroom. Enjoy using it to its fullest potential.

We have put together some frequently asked questions in case you still have some lingering questions before you get started!

What if I don’t see the Assignments tab?

If you don’t see the Assignment tab on the top ribbon in your General channel, or on the side ribbon, you are not logged in with a Microsoft EDU account. Create your own, or get in touch with your IT department for your login.

What is the difference between the Due Date and the Close Date?

Students can still turn in Assignments after the Due Date has passed, but once the Close Date has passed, no more submissions are allowed.

If I return the assignment to my student does that mean I want them to redo it?

Not necessarily. You can return all assignments to the students so that they can see your feedback. If you want a student to redo the assignment, you should let them know in your feedback.

Can I attach a PDF for my students to edit to the assignment?

You can do this through your Class Notebook! Insert the PDF to a Class Notebook page and set it as the background. Then, you can assign this page to your students.

Watch this for a visual guide on how to insert a PDF to a Class Notebook page.

Can I assign an assignment to a certain channel?

Unfortunately, no. You can only assign to the General Channel, which is all your students, or assign to individual students when setting up the assignment.

Organize classwork with four new Assignments features from Teams

September 09, 2021.

By Microsoft Education Team

Share this article

Whether you’re preparing for a new school year or are already in the thick of one, there is no better time than now to recommit to classroom organization with the help of Microsoft Teams. Assignments in Teams has just what the educator ordered—simplified ways to streamline, distribute, manage, and access assignments for classes this year and beyond. 

Here are some of the latest and greatest features Assignments has to offer:

1. Filter assignments by class

Sometimes keeping track of assignments can almost feel like a greater task than reviewing them. Educators can now rest easy and stay organized by filtering student assignments by the classes they teach for a convenient and visual list view.

2. Return an assignment for student revision

Assignments are sometimes a work in progress, requiring ongoing updates, reviews, and edits. After reviewing an assignment, educators can now  return the assignment for revision . The returned assignment will appear in the student’s “active work” list, where they can then turn the work in after making edits. To return an assignment, educators just need to select Return for revision .

3. Assign group work

Collaborative learning just got easier with the new group assignment feature. Educators can give projects to a team of students and have them collaborate on, and submit, one piece of work for their whole group. Once the assignment has been submitted, educators can choose to submit comments and grades to individual students, or the entire group.

4. Manage assignments on a mobile device

Learning can happen from anywhere, and many educators and students rely on a mobile device to check and work on assignments. For their convenience, an upgraded version of Assignments with simplified navigation is now available on Android and iOS mobile devices and tablet devices.

When you’re ready to take advantage of these new features, don’t forget to also sprinkle in some fun and use the latest emojis in Microsoft Teams! With more than 800 emojis that are customizable (including by skin tone now), your students can freely express themselves, feel represented, and bring their full personalities to the classroom. Download Teams today to get started for free.

Must-try updates from microsoft teams assignments.

• June 28, 2021

What’s new in Microsoft Teams? This year there have been lots of exciting new updates to MS Teams. In today’s blog post, I’ll take you through the updates related to the Assignments in MS Teams. From group assignments to class recordings, there are many new features to explore!

If you’re new to MS Teams, Teams is basically a hub that brings everyone in your school community together. Discussions, course content, and assignments all come together in one place. Students and teachers can access content, upload assignments, and participate in collaborative learning experiences, including video conferencing. This page gives an excellent  overview of Microsoft Teams  and includes some videos so you can see it in action.

Let’s jump right into some of the updates from MS Teams Assignments!

New Features in Microsoft Teams Assignments

Below I’ve pulled together a few favorite, must-try updates. For the complete list of dozens of updates, check out  this blog post  from Microsoft Education.

Stay on Schedule

You can now make sure you (and your students) don’t miss a thing, thanks to calendar sync for Team assignments. As the facilitator, you can decide if you want the sync to stay on for every assignment for your entire class or only use this feature for individual assignments. You can access this feature from the settings, and as soon as you enable this calendar sync, both students and teachers will see events connected to assignments pop up in their calendar.

Submit on the Go

If your students are on the move, they’ll love the new Microsoft Lens integration in Assignments. With a snap of a picture, they can turn in physical work and attach it to an assignment. When might this come in handy? If your students submit a paper-based graphic organizer, illustration, or annotated piece of text, this makes it simple to snap a picture and share it with teachers.

Apps in Assignments

At the end of August, a new feature in Teams will allow you to assign interactive apps as part of an assignment you send out to students. Are you using Buncee , Nearpod , or Wakelet ? These are just a few of the apps that will be available to connect to an assignment in MS Teams.

Sync Your Grades

Another new update in Microsoft Teams is Grade Sync. Instead of copy and pasting grades into a Student Information System (SIS), Grade Sync automatically sends your grades to the grade book in your SIS. The list of SIS compatibility includes connections to providers like Aequitas, eSchoolData, PowerSchool, and more.

Update and Edit Quizzes

Do you use quizzes in Teams? There is now a more straightforward and more streamlined way to create and edit a quiz directly from an assignment. Without needing any extra tabs open on your desktop, you can now make a new quiz without leaving Teams. So, if you decide you want to add a quick quiz or “check for understanding” opportunity, this is easier than ever.

Increasing Capacity

As a classroom teacher, my class size often stayed under 30 students. But what if you’re teaching a large class or seminar? MS Teams has now increased the assignment limit to 300 students. This update makes it possible to share an assignment with a larger group of students.

In the video above ( and linked here ), you can watch a rundown of nine updates to MS Teams Assignments. In future blog posts, we’ll take a closer look at the Reflect App and its connection to social-emotional learning, as well as the Whiteboard app and how it supports collaboration. With dozens of updates currently live and more on the way, this landing page gives you all of the details and most up-to-date information.

Reading Progress in Microsoft Teams Assignments

Earlier this spring, I featured one of the updates to Microsoft Teams assignments that I am most excited about — Reading Progress. You can find the entire rundown of this powerful, free fluency app in this recent blog post . And if you want a behind-the-scenes look at Reading Progress, check out this bonus episode of the Easy EdTech Podcast to hear my conversation with Mike Tholfsen.

Reading Progress  is in private preview this spring  and it will be available globally in late August to Teams users for free.  Within Microsoft Teams, you can add a Reading Progress activity to an assignment and then track student progress. It integrates into Teams making it easy to deploy a reading activity to your class. 

Ready to dive into these new updates? If you’d like to learn more about MS Teams and the dozens of new updates to this powerful platform, head to this page first . Once you spend time exploring and trying out these new features, let me know which ones are your favorites. Leave a comment below or reach out to me on social media (@ClassTechTips) to share!

New to Teams: View assignment history and hand in student work in Teams  

The ability to hand in work on behalf of students in Microsoft Teams Assignments has been long-awaited by teachers, alongside being able to view assignment history of individual students.  

In this guide, we show you how to view assignment history and submit student work as a teacher in Teams Assignments.

How to view assignment history in Microsoft Teams Assignments.  

Viewing assignment history is particularly useful as it helps you as a teacher get an overview of where the student is with the assignment – whether they’ve viewed the work, if they’ve attempted to complete it or if they need more guidance.  

It also cuts out the excuse of “not knowing about the homework”, because you can now see if they really viewed the task or not.   

• Go into one of your assignments in Teams and view the list of students who have been set this work.  
• Select a student to open up their assignment.  
• In the left-hand side marking panel, select View History. This brings up an overview of where the student is with the assignment.

In this example, we can see that we set the work on 11/05/2022 at 14:11 and Susan viewed it around 20 minutes later.  

Here’s what it looks like when the student has handed in their work.  

How to hand in work on behalf of a student in Microsoft Teams Assignments.  

A much-anticipated feature in Teams is the ability for teachers to take actions on behalf of students – for example, upload files and turn in work for students.  

• Select Take action in student view i n the left-hand side marking panel.  
• From here, you can attach files and select Hand in to hand in their assignment on their behalf.  
• The student and teacher have the option to Undo hand-in.  

Note: The assignment history will tell you whether the assignment has been turned in by the student or the teacher.
