notify me (the teacher) when a student turns in an assignment
As a teacher of 7 different classes, I have to go into each assignment individually to see when students turn in assignments. This is very time-consuming! Please allow me to set up a notification when a student turns in an assignment.

Thanks for all of the feedback on this one. We are reviewing how we can improve notifications around Assignments in Teams. Please keep the feedback coming!

It would be great if it could show the number of assignments waiting in my 'in tray' that way I know when to open.

WISHLIST: The Assignments tab shows a little icon with the number of assignments handed in then when you click on the Assignments tab where it lists your classes it has a number of handed in assignments icon attached to each class so you know which class to look into! PLEASE :)

It would be helpful for the Assignment notification to be separate from our other notifications. It would also be helpful to be able to see a list of all Assignments that have not been returned as a list that we could click on and grade right from the list. AGREE WITH THIS COMPLETELY -
Helpppp!

Please add the notification. Also would be nice to see all together whether they have submitted. like on Show My Home Work where you can literally see the history of that students engagement. Teams is missing this function. so we have to record in our own excel documents which is crazy time consuming. When other apps just let us press a button and done. all past assignments green amber or red. lovely.

I really need this to happen. I need a notification when a student turns in an assignment late. Thank you.

Could this be setup via Power Automate? I have a few rules setup that email when a file has uploaded to a folder within SharePoint. I've not looked, but could something similar be setup for assignments?

In a perfect world, all students would submit the assignment by the deadline and the the teacher would be able to go through all the assignments and assess them all in one fell swoop. This is never what actually happens, though. Often students submit late...sometimes REALLY late. Or sometimes I have an assignment that students complete as they want to and so submissions trickle in. As the original poster mentioned, the only way to know that a student has submitted an assignment is by combing through each individual assignment looking for new "turned in" signs. This is unacceptably time consuming, but if I don't do it, I have students who don't get feedback from me for an unreasonable length of time.
We get notifications for so many things in Teams, I can't believe there isn't already one for this. When an assignment is submitted, the red dot should appear on my "Assignments" button, next to the appropriate class(es) once in "Assignments", on the appropriate assignment once in your list of assignments, and on the appropriate(s) Team icon. In a perfect work, you would show me somewhere how many outstanding assignments I have to mark (like Schoology does), but I would settle for a light going on when something is submitted that stays on until I have no more assignments to return.

Having an Assignments Section that shows all open assignments within Groups would be even better.

Getting notifications for submitted work is very important to me as a teacher. It is saving me time, effort and confusion. Thank you.

Came here to suggest this idea and was very glad to see it has already been raised. It would be incredibly useful to get notifications when work is turned in.

Another feature which is urgent and won’t happen before the term end. Could we at least be told why this is so challenging? I mean we get notifications for everything else if we chose to. Why not this too?

I was just in a meeting with colleagues - we all have over 400 students - over 25 sections - and it takes almost an hour just to check on just one class to see if work has been handed in past the due date. PLEASE send notifications when students turn in assignments after the due date - thank you!

If Microsoft wishes to be the leading online LMS they better get this sorted quickly. Very frustrating for lecturers and students alike.

With 400 students & teachers new to TEAMS, this would be so helpful! Students are sending files on email, chat, general, and assignments! It's hard to keep track of all of them! We get notifications for all of the others, why not in the actual assignment? Educators Need This!!!!

Please can you let us know how far away this is @microsoft as you have a LOT of teachers wasting a lot of time for what seems like a simple notification?
