How do I share assignments?

Learn how to add a Derivita assignment to another course.

Prerequisites

• You must be a teacher in the class to which you want to send the assignment

Steps

1. Head to homework.derivita.com and log in with your Google account
2. Under "My Templates", navigate to the assignment you want to share:
   
3. In the top right, click "Select All", then "Next", and finally, "Create"
4. Pick a title, point value, and the class that you want to send it to and click "Create Draft" or "Assign"
5. Set the assignment settings. (Learn more: Create an assignment | Derivita Support Center)
