Available Options When Creating a Custom Assignment

  • Coding Exercise: Prompt your students to create an open ended sandbox-style coding project

  • Quiz: Create a multiple choice quiz for your students to take

  • Practice Problem: Create an Autograded practice coding problem

  • Video: Embed a video for your students to watch

  • Article: Embed an article or webpage for your students to view

  • Notes: Create lecture notes for your students to read

  • Free Response: Create a free response prompt for your students to respond to

  • Embed: Embed an activity from another website

  • Resource: Create a resource for your students to use, such as a worksheet

  • Example: Example program that runs in the IDE but has no Autograder -- just starter code
