How to Create a Web Activity Assignment
  • From the My Courses page, access the section where you wish to create the Web Activity
  • Click the Assignment tab, top left:
  • Click the Add assignment button


 
  • Click web activity from the list of assignment types
    • ​​​​​​​Note, that the list will vary depending on the title of the book
​​​​​​​On the next page, enter:
  • An assignment name
  • Instructions for students (optional)
If you're using a link to a web page for students to navigate to, enter:
  • A name for the link
  • The web address
    • ​​​​​​​Check the web address is valid before creating the assignment and that it is open source (you have permission to use it)
  • You may add multiple web addresses by clicking + add another web link
  • When you are happy with your selections, click save and exit to save your changes, or click next: assign to set availability dates





NOTE: Web activities are not graded assignments

On the next page, select your sharing preferences if sharing the assignment, and enter the Start due dates before clicking assign




Best Practices: 
  • Web activities are a great way to create open-ended, real-world assignments or to enrich learning experiences by providing links to timely and relevant web resources!
  • Use this feature to highlight relevant websites or other resources, such as material from the Library Tab Resources
  • NOTE: The items you post in Web Activities are non-gradable and will not be visible in the Connect Reports area
