CodeHS lets you create assignments and add them to any Course while you're teaching it! You can do this directly on the Course Assignment Page, or you can create individual assignments on your personal Create page in order to assign them later.
Create and Edit Assignments on the Assignments Page
To create an Assignment directly from your Assignments page, click the Add button > Assignment:
In the pop-up window, enter the Assignment Title and choose which Module and Lesson you want to assign the custom assignment to, and then click Create:
From here, you can choose the type of assignment, add activity details, configure, and finish creating your assignment!
More detailed information about each step is below:
Choose Activity Type: Select which type of assignment you want to create. For Coding Exercises, pick from all the languages available on CodeHS including JavaScript, Python, Java, and more! Learn more about the different types of assignments here.
Activity Details: Name the assignment, add a description/directions, starter code, test cases, solution code, and other details (depending on the Activity Type selected).
