Create a New Assignment

Publishers and teachers can create assignments on the MagicBox portal  in the following ways:

1. Create an assignment and link it with the content. In this case, once the content is assigned to the teacher, the corresponding assignment will be assigned automatically. Teachers can view the assignment on the Assignment page. 

2. Create assignment and do not link with the content. In this case, the publisher will have to bind the assignment in a license and assign the license to the school/district.
