# 👩‍🎓 How to set assignments - an overview.

## In this article we look at how to set assignments on The EverLearner.

**Why do we need to do this?**  
Setting assignments allows the teacher to set specific, targeted tasks for students to complete within a set period of time.

**What comes before?**  
You must be a Teacher, HoD or Admin on the site and be set up as a teacher in the groups you want to set an assignment to.

Your groups must be set up first. See: **[Creating groups](https://help.theeverlearner.com/knowledge/creating-groups)**

**Setting assignments**

1. Login to your account.
2. Click on the 'Assignments/Exams' button at the top of your page.
3. Click on the 'Create new assignment' button.
4. This brings up a list of the different types of assignments you can set.
5. Select the type of assignment you would like to set: **[Watch Lessons](https://help.theeverlearner.com/knowledge/watch-lesson-assignments)**, **[Upload essay](https://help.theeverlearner.com/knowledge/upload-essay-assignment)**, **[Test yourself](https://help.theeverlearner.com/knowledge/test-yourself-assignment)** or [**Take checkpoint.**](https://help.theeverlearner.com/knowledge/what-is-checkpoint-mode)  
   *(Note that **you cannot set a 'Practice mode' quiz as an assignment -** practice mode is a 'safe area' for students to develop and consolidate their learning - no scores are recorded).*
6. Complete the relevant information for the assignment: group(s), course, lessons(s), start date, end date.
7. In the pink text box, write your assignment title and a brief explanation of the task.
8. Underneath the pink box, select whether to assign to the whole group or to individual students. Setting to individual students is a great way to provide targeted support and personalised learning opportunities.
9. Click 'Create assignment'.
