Assigning content to students enables fast access to materials, minimizes distractions, and creates opportunities for tracking completion.
With Discovery Education STEM Connect, students can browse and use navigation to access specific materials. Assigning content, though, whether an individual resource or an entire lesson, ensures that students have fast access to materials, minimizes distractions, and creates opportunities for tracking completion.
Assign Lessons
Each lesson is assignable to students. This provides quick access for students from their My DE homepage.
There are two ways to assign lessons:
- From the unit page, select the three ellipses, select Assign, and assign the content to a class, classes, or to individual students.
- With the lesson open, click the assign icon above the slideshow.
Find embedded response modules throughout STEM Connect lessons. When assigned, students can respond directly in the lesson.
