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!

Would also be helpful it the notification included a "resubmission" tag for the assignment as well, so I know ahead of time if it's new or corrected.

But only once the due date has passed!

Have been using the work around through Sharepoint but it is clunky, does not identify the student and creates unnecessary extra emails. This is so much needed.

I wholeheartedly agree that teachers should receive notifications when students hand in work--especially when it is days (or weeks) after the due date!

PLEASE can this be added in???? It's honestly one of the most frustrating things about assignments and so time consuming having to click in and out of everything we have set just to check whether someone has submitted late :-( Thank you

Hi - we're the only Microsoft "Showcase College" currently in the UK. Many of us have MCE, MIEE and MIE qualifications - so we genuinely feel we can provide Microsoft with information they need to improve the quality - and therefore popularity of Teams! This lack of teacher notification is a serious shortcoming in the architecture of Teams. Students get notified of returned work, but teachers do NOT get notified whenever a student submits work??? Come on Microsoft, you can fix this! Thanks.

The notification system should be customized, It should be mobile friendly as well for helping the teacher/student communications meant helping the education of the nation. I hope the authority will take appropriate measures in this notification set up system. https://mega.****/

In our UK college, we've recently adopted Teams as our Virtual Learning Environment, having moved over from Moodle. As teachers, we badly need a notification system to let us know when students upload work - otherwise it's a never-ending process of constant checking to see if any submissions have dropped. Moodle could do this in 2003. Microsoft - Microsoft! - Teams can't do this in 2021. It blows my mind. Please fix this issue, Microsoft. Begging you. Thanks.

Its been 4 years and we are still waiting for this improvement. Assignments in calendars took awhile and while not yet what most needed its a start.
Could it be explained why it is not possible to have a flow created by MS that when A student submits an assignment we receive notification IN TEAMS.
Slightly frustrated at this lack of functionality.

I'd love a badge of how many assignments I need to grade on my backpack.

Having an option for this to just be a flag on the assignment tab and then the specific assignment would be great, rather than this popping up in the activities every time. With 93 students, having it as a notification in the activities tab would become too much, but I do agree that having some sort of notification when a student turns in an assignment would be super useful!

Adding an option to turn on notifications for submission would be awesome. Something similar to how notifications for Forms submissions can be turned on and off. I don't want notifications at the beginning, but once I've passed everything back and I am waiting on stragglers, I would like notifications to know that I need to go back and check.

Does not have to be a notification. Simply an icon visually showing if an assignment has been completed or modified. The grades tab should also show when new work is turned in- just like the assignment tab does, or the individual student tab on the grades tab. It should not be simply when a student clicks "turn in"- since that often is not done at all, or done when no work is actually attached.

Yes! I agree! As a teacher who uses Teams primarily (throughout our entire high school) as our online teaching platform, (as well as our class organization) we need these notifications! It would be a HUGE timesaver, and would keep us coming back for more of your services!

This needs to happen. Also- an option to return to the student for corrections/additions etc.

Add an icon or a bubble count to the team to show assignments turned in and waiting grading. (not just submitted or returned)
