Assigning Activities Using the Clipboard

The Clipboard walks you through the process of assigning supplemental activities to individuals or groups:

1. Select the Clipboard tool from the Header Menu or Main Menu; the Activities tab is open by default.
2. Add the student(s), Quick Lists, and/or Groups to whom you want to assign the activity using the panel on the left (How do I add students to the Clipboard?).
3. Add activity content in one of the following ways:
   • Choose from the options under Add an Activity; you can upload a file, link a video, link a website, or create an activity with a rich text editor.
   • Select Search Library, which allows you to choose content from other Pearson Connexus courses or external sources to which you have access.
4. Indicate whether you want the activity to be Gradable, then select Next.

5. Indicate the desired Grading Period (if enabled in your domain). the desired destination folder in the Syllabus, and the Due date.
6. Select Next.
   
7. If you selected the Gradable box, you are able to edit the following settings:

• • Submission Type.   
  • Weight in category
  • The desired Score entry model: Points, Rubric, Percentage, or Letter Grade
  • The appropriate Grading category
  • Whether This activity counts as extra credit
  • Whether you want to Hide returned scores until a certain date and provide the date and time you want the scores to become visible
  • The Passing score
  • Whether the Score can be dropped from calculated course score
  • Whether to Include this activity's score in final-grade calculation
  • Whether to Require a passing score for course credit
  • Whether to Treat as zero in gradebook until this activity is scored

Creating personalized activities using the Clipboard enables you to give truly individual attention.

Clipboard assigned Activities will appear for students in their To-Do List as well as the For Me tab of the course Gradebook.
