How to Use Assignments in Microsoft Teams: Quick 12-Minute Tutorial for Teachers

Using Microsoft Teams in the classroom gained popularity during the pandemic. However, it can, and is, being used in both online and physical classrooms today. As a learning management tool, Teams works seamlessly with other Microsoft products like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint which are classic favorites for students and teachers alike.

This multi-functional tool allows you to stay in touch with your students not only through video calls, but with chats, files, and assignments in Microsoft Teams. Teams can seem daunting when you first begin to use it, but it really is quite simple and easy to use. To make it seem less intimidating, we have broken down and explained some main features of Teams separately. Here are links to our other guides on features of Microsoft Teams:

  • Microsoft Teams for Online Teaching – A Guide for Teachers
  • Using Breakout Rooms in Microsoft Teams  
  • Assignments in Teams
  • Class Notebook in Microsoft Teams
  • 15 of the Best Teams Tips and Tricks .

Below is a quick, everything-you-need-to-know guide on assignments in Microsoft Teams. Let’s get started!

Create an Assignment in Microsoft Teams

To begin creating assignments in Microsoft Teams, you first need to be sure of two things:

  • You are logged in with a Microsoft EDU account
  • The Team you have created is a Class Team type

If both of those things are complete you will be able to see the Assignments tab on the side ribbon and on the top ribbon in the General channel. If you need help getting to know the interface and basics of Teams, check out our Teams Guide for Teachers.

there are two places to access Assignments in Microsoft Teams. The side panel and in the General Channel.

Start a New Assignment

Now, to create your assignment, click on the Assignments tab from the top ribbon under your General Channel. Click Create , and then Assignment , to begin your first assignment. You can explore creating a quiz with the help of Microsoft Forms and creating an assignment based on a pre-existing assignment another time.

Create an assignment

Add Assignment Details

In your new assignment, add a title and a description to let your students know what to do to complete the assignment.

If you prefer to attach the instructions as a document, or have supporting materials to the assignment, you can attach them under the Add Resources link. Teams allows you to attach files in many different ways: through your OneDrive, ClassNoteBook, from a link, by creating a new file, or from uploading a document from your computer.

When you attach a resource, you have the option to allow students to edit it or not. By default, they cannot edit; however, if you prefer to change this, just click on the three dots at the end of the resource and click, Students edit their own copy. Now, when students edit this file, a new copy will be made for them, and it is automatically attached to this assignment for an easy turn-in.

Set Points and a Rubric

To easily grade this assignment in Teams, assign the number of points it is worth, or add a rubric . Similar to creating assignments, you can use a pre-existing rubric, upload one, or create a new one.

Creating a new rubric is very customizable so you are able to add all the information your students need to complete the assignment. Just add a title , and a description , then fill in the rest of the rubric. If you need more categories , just click the plus button at the end of the columns, or after the bottom row. In addition, you can assign points to each category of the rubric.

Choose Students to Assign the Work to

The next step in creating an assignment is to assign it to your students. You can assign it to all of them, or a certain student(s) for more individualized work. Just click Assign to All, or go through the list and click the students you would like to assign this to.

Give a Due Date & Close Date

In Teams, there are two different categories of dates for when the assignment is due.

Due Date: This is when the assignment is due, however, students are still able to turn in the assignment late, after the due date has passed.

Close Date: This is when the assignment closes and no more submissions are allowed.

To set both of these, and schedule this assignment for the future, click Edit under the Due Date section. To set a Close Date , click the checkbox on the side and set the date.

When all of your setups are complete, back at the top of the page, click assign, or save for later if it still needs a bit more work.

create assignment microsoft teams

How Students Can Turn in Assignments

After you assign an assignment, students will receive a notification. They are able to view the assignment in the General Channel or on the Assignment tabs.

The student’s view of the assignment is very similar to the teacher’s view. They will see the Due Date and Close Date, the instructions, any files you have attached, and a rubric if there is one.

Students can begin their assignments right away in Teams if you have attached a document for them to work on. In the example below, students would be using PowerPoint on their desktops simultaneously with ClassPoint to make their presentations more interactive. As they work, their changes will be saved automatically. If you don’t have a document attached, students can upload and attach their work instead.

When they have completed their work, they just need to click Turn In. They will see a fun animation appear indicating the turn-in is successful.

How to Grade Assignments

Once students have turned in their work, you will receive a notification. Now, you can easily look over and grade their work. Click into an assignment to view how many students have turned in their work, how many need grading, and how many you have already graded.

To grade an assignment, click on the Turned in status. Here, you are able to view their work alongside a tab for you to give them feedback. If you have a rubric , it will open for you to assign the points for each category. Scrolling down, you can leave feedback to let them know what they excelled at and what needs more work.

create assignment microsoft teams

When the grading is completed, you can return it to the student. They can view your feedback, make changes, and turn it in again if necessary.

To easily jump between students for a continuous grading experience, click the arrows on the side of the student’s name, or click on the student’s name for a drop-down menu of your other students.

create assignment microsoft teams

Export Grade Data

In Teams, it is really easy to export data, especially for assignments. You can export data for certain assignments, in addition to exporting all assignments and student grade data. This can be done from the Grades pivot on the top toolbar. You will see a complete list of your students, and of each assignment on this tab that you have assigned throughout the year.

Frequently Asked Questions

And that completes this tutorial on Assignments in Microsoft Teams! There is plenty you can do with this feature on Teams to make it suitable for your students and classroom. Enjoy using it to its fullest potential.

We have put together some frequently asked questions in case you still have some lingering questions before you get started!

What if I don’t see the Assignments tab?

If you don’t see the Assignment tab on the top ribbon in your General channel, or on the side ribbon, you are not logged in with a Microsoft EDU account. Create your own, or get in touch with your IT department for your login.

What is the difference between the Due Date and the Close Date?

Students can still turn in Assignments after the Due Date has passed, but once the Close Date has passed, no more submissions are allowed.

If I return the assignment to my student does that mean I want them to redo it?

Not necessarily. You can return all assignments to the students so that they can see your feedback. If you want a student to redo the assignment, you should let them know in your feedback.

Can I attach a PDF for my students to edit to the assignment?

You can do this through your Class Notebook! Insert the PDF to a Class Notebook page and set it as the background. Then, you can assign this page to your students.

Watch this for a visual guide on how to insert a PDF to a Class Notebook page.

Can I assign an assignment to a certain channel?

Unfortunately, no. You can only assign to the General Channel, which is all your students, or assign to individual students when setting up the assignment.

The content stored in SharePoint includes metadata and details about Assignments and Submissions that's stored for Assignments. The export user data is supported for both Student and Teacher users. However, delete data is only supported for Students due to co-mingling and data retention compliance. Teachers can delete their data in app by deleting assignments or classes. For more information, review the Assignments Admin documentation .

There are three scripts to use depending upon the scenario:

Shared common step for Export and Delete user data scenario:

Use the Get-UserClasses.ps1 script to create a list of classes that user is part of. If the user has left the class, then a text file containing those class Ids can be provided to include data from those classes. Otherwise data won't be exported or deleted from those classes. Running this script creates a csv file that contains a list of classes, the role of the user in class, and whether or not export or delete for the user was processed (which is set to false by default).

Exporting User data:

Use the Export-EDUAssignments.ps1 script to export data for the user. The csv file generated in the above step is input to this script. Running this script will get assignments and submissions of each assignment and generates two files. The assignment file (assignment.json) contains assignments and submissions and report file(GetAssignmentsReport.csv) - status of running the script. After running the script, it updates the GetSubmissionsProcessed column in the csv input file to true for that specific class so that if there's a failure the script can be rerun.

Deleting User data:

Use the Delete-EDUAssignments.ps1 script to delete data for the user. The script reads the class details of user from input csv file generated in the previous shared step. It then deletes the submissions, and generates a report file(DeleteAssignmentsReport.csv) for status of running the script. When the deletion of submission is done it updates the DeleteSubmissionsProcessed column to true for that specific class, so that if there's a failure the script can be rerun. The script also removes students from the class unless optionally specified to not do so by the Tenant Admin, failing that the student will get all the assignments applicable to them be redistributed to them.

Hi Kenneth, My name is Umar and I'd be happy to help you out with your question. Please note: This is a user-to-user community forum. We are users just like you who help others. We are not employees of Microsoft. The "Reading Progress" feature in Microsoft Teams is a built-in tool designed to support and track reading fluency in classes. If you are unable to find it under "Assignments > Create > Attach," it is likely that it is not enabled or configured correctly. Here are some steps to help you troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue: Check if the "Reading Progress" feature is enabled for your organization or school. If it's not, you might need to contact your IT administrator or the person responsible for managing Microsoft Teams settings in your organization. Also, Ensure that your Microsoft Teams app is updated to the latest version. Sometimes, updates can resolve issues like this. For more information: https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/topic/getting-started-with-reading-progress-in-teams-7617c11c-d685-4cb7-8b75-3917b297c407 I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Help the next person who has this issue by indicating if this reply solved your problem. Click Yes or No below. Best Regards, Umar Majeed

Was this reply helpful? Yes No

Sorry this didn't help.

Great! Thanks for your feedback.

How satisfied are you with this reply?

Thanks for your feedback, it helps us improve the site.

Thanks for your feedback.

Thanks Umar - much appreciated.

We are running if not the latest, just one version behind teams. As an admin, I've checked the Teams Admin Center and Manage apps. I could not find Reading Progress. Do it mean it is not available to us. We are on A3 license and an educational institution.

Where else I should check and look for enabling the Reading Progress

Thanks for the update! You are welcome. If you are running a version of Microsoft Teams that is not the latest, and you are unable to find the "Reading Progress" feature in the Teams Admin Center or Manage apps, it is likely that the feature is not available to you. However, as an educational institution with an A3 license, you should be able to access the feature. Here are some additional steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially enable the feature. Double-check that you have correctly followed the steps to set up "Reading Progress" under "Assignments > Create > Attach."

I have ensured that I am on the latest version of Teams. Reading Progress still not appear. I think I will have to enable it from Teams Admin > Education > Assignments settings, but unfortunately, I don't see 'Reading Progress" is available there.

Any suggestions are much appreciated.

If you have ensured that you are on the latest version of Teams and still cannot find the 'Reading Progress' option, it is likely that the feature is not available in your setup or supported in your current version. Additionally, the 'Reading Progress' feature might not be included in your A3 license or might be restricted in your educational institution's setup. Regards Umar
