How to add a new assignment and add link to assignment

Adding new assignments to the student's record in CounselMore helps ensure that students can access essential resources and stay on track. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you create a new assignment and add relevant links.

To Add a New Assignment

Select the Student > Go to the Assignments Tab > Click the Blue Menu Button >  Add New Assignment

Assignment Window Opens:

A new assignment window will appear, allowing you to enter assignment details and attach relevant links.

Adding Links to Assignments

Within the assignment window, you can add links in three different ways:

Add Link to External Video:

Use this option to attach educational or informative videos hosted on platforms like YouTube or Vimeo. Simply paste the video URL to give the student quick access to the content.

Add Link to Student's Google Drive File:

If you need to link specific documents or resources that are stored in the student’s Google Drive, use this option. 



Add Link to External Resources:

For non-Google Drive links, such as websites or tools the student needs to access, this option allows you to link external resources. This feature is essential for sharing platforms that require student engagement outside of Google Drive.

Example: If you had a Prompt Account, you’d add the student’s Prompt Login URL address to Add External Link. This gives the student one-click access to their Prompt account from within CounselMore.
