Assign Assignments to specific channels

It should be possible to assign Assignments to specific channel(s). Now, each Assignment is posted in the general channel.

    Please do it. I have to read all the tasks of the other teachers of other subject. It's a mess. You have to improve it

    I agree with this suggestion. I'd like to assign a channel per chapter in my subject and it'd be very useful if the tasks were linked to each channel. Thank you

    Without being able to assign to each channel individually, it will be too difficult for students to locate the assignment for their class. As I specials teacher, I have 8 levels of classes and all the assignments are jumbled in a mess in the "general" channel. Self contained classrooms will just a confusing when Math, Reading, Science, Social Students, Religion, Spelling, and Grammar assignments all co-mingling in "general" . Please consider making this something that will truly work and fulfill the needs of teachers!

    Yes, as a teacher we need a way to organize the material for presentation. MS suggests that one should use "Add Category". This only provides a small fix to a chaotic file organization system the MS provides with this product.

    WE NEED A VERY ORGANIZED FILE SYSTEM TO HAVE ORGANIZED ONLINE LEARNERS.

    Yes, Yes, Yes - this allows a teacher to provide a more organized leaning experience. I have found that the assignments become extremely organized with not way to sort of display with any kind of order.

    MS has suggested, Add Category, to solve this problem, but this does allow students to view like assignments, from a slurry of assignments, however once in the category there is no order to those assignments.

    How can we teach and students learn from a chaotic file system? Microsoft give us some why to organize the material we present.

    As we are all moving more and more into Teams it would be useful when using different channels for different topics to have assignments set within those topics in one place. However I would like to have a single grade book holding the marks from all the assignments.

    Having the ability to create or add assignments into the channels section would certainly help teachers organize their units more effectively. I understand there is a feature to categorize assignments within the assignments section, but this is not clean enough for some people. My mind processes a jumbled mess when looking in the assignments section even when I toggle the categories.

    Yes, this would be helpful, we are using one Team per class, and channels per subject of the class. So it would be natural to assign an order to a channel in a team.
    So the class has one entry point, the team with it's channels, and orders per channel.

    I kept tapping Asssignments on the left and It was not linked to the assignments I was setting in my Team. Do the Assignments in Notebook (also only available from general channel) link with Assignments in Teams? Mine did not reflect there.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    I am a teacher and it would be absolutely wonderful if we could have assignments linked to each channel in a team instead of just under the general channel. This would really help organise the assignments for pupils under particular topics/channels and the assignments could be used more effectively.

    I would prefer EACH CHANNEL having it's own "ASSIGNMENTS" and not sharing this in the channel General.
    Espacially if you are sharing channels it is confusing and inefficient for teachers and students.
    Thanks

    Since 2016 we have been using Teams and OneNote in such a way that each class represents exactly one team.

    The channels are per subject and semester. Each channel has its own course notebook.
    Therefore it would be very important for us if the tasks could be distributed per channel.

    Thanks for testing the idea
