To assign activities in the online learning environment, you must first have a class created. You can search and filter to find all types of available activities in Assignables.
You can access your Assignables for your program(s) at any time. This is the hub for browsing, creating, managing or assigning activities of all types.
After selecting a class, click on Content Library, then Assignables.
To browse existing activities to assign to your classes:
Be sure you are on the Assignables tab.
Use the filters to narrow your search parameters:

You can slide the Assign Cart up or down if it is in your way.
You can select different filters to choose activities from more than one resource to put into your cart. Continue doing so until you have all of the activities you want to assign in the cart.
