Homework often needs more than one type of learning: a topic to learn, exam questions to practise and a quiz to check it stuck. You can set all of these in a single Seneca assignment.

How to set one

  1. Create an assignment and choose your class.
  2. On the Content step, pick a subject, age group, exam board and course, or search for what you want.
  3. Tick the topics you want. For each topic you can include core content, exam questions and hardest questions.
The Topics tab of the assignment flow, showing a topic with Core content and Hardest questions ticked, two of four exam questions selected, and a summary of the selection at the bottom

Choose what to include for each topic. The bar at the bottom shows what you've selected.

  1. Use the Exam Questions and Quizzes tabs to add those on their own.
