How do I lock or unlock an assignment or assessment?

Updated by Nathan Crutchfield

It is important to understand the purpose of locking either Assignments or Assessments so you know which one will best suit your needs.

  • Locking Assignments prevents the students from seeing the Assignment
  • Locking the Assessment prevents the teachers from seeing the Assessment
  • Only School Administrators can lock Assessments. Teachers/Admins are only able to lock their own Assignments that they have assigned.
How to lock an assignment or assessment for all students:
  1. Select Asssingment Bank from the left side menu.

  1. You may lock the assignment one of two ways:
    1. Click on the padlock icon next to the assignment to lock or unlock it.
    2. Click the checkbox to the left of the assignment and click the Lock/Unlock button. Then, select "OK." To lock more than one assignment at once, select multiple checkboxes and click the Lock/Unlock button.
  2.  The bold lock icon next to the assignment indicates that the assignment is now locked and can't be viewed or worked on by students.

What do locked assignments look like from the student's view?

When a teacher locks an assignment, it disappears from the student's Assignment list view in the student platform.

  1. 2nd-5th Grade Student View:
  1. 6-12 Grade Student View:
If a student says that they cannot see an assignment that you recently unlocked, tell them to refresh their screen and the assignment should then be visible.
