29. Let’s look at creating an assignment.

30. These are the features you must set up for each assignment.

31. Select the number of students per group for this assignment. Keep in mind that larger groups will have more papers to review. Exchange creates the groups for you, but you can edit groups anytime before they upload papers.

32. Here is where you decide if you want students in a group to see each other’s comments. If you select NO here, then students will not be able to see each other’s comments. Nor will you be able to see student comments in the paper review tool. You will only be able to view student comments under Participation Grade section. See later slide for more details.

33. If reviews are posted anonymously, then you will not be able to see which student made each comment within the context of the paper. But you can evaluate each student’s comments in the Participation Grade section.

34. As you create every assignment, you have the opportunity to create your own checklist of questions for students to consider as they review their peers’ papers for this assignment. Once uploaded, it remains an option to select for future assignments. Remember to save it as RTF before you upload it! Exchange also has five pre-loaded checklists for you to choose from! Click NEXT when you have made your selections

35. Here is a checklist that I created. Here is a checklist provided by Exchange.

36. Type in assignment or select an assignment you have used before. Enter due dates Enter date at which students can view assignment. You can set up all your assignments before the course even starts. Assignments will only be visible after the date you set.

37. If you check yes, you and students will receive email every time a paper is uploaded and ready for review! Click preview when you have made selections

38. Here you can review all of your set-up selections. Click OK when you are satisfied!

49. You see the groups for Assignment #1 here. These groups are locked and cannot be altered because students in each group have uploaded papers already.

50. Students have not yet uploaded papers for assignment 8 so you can change their groups. This assignment has been set up for groups of TWO. You must uncheck a box before you can check another box. Exchange helps you keep all the groups the same size.

51. You may even uncheck all the boxes and start from scratch. But you must maintain groups of TWO. Tip: If you keep your assignment hidden until all the students have joined the course, you can control which students are together in every group. (Since no student will be able to upload and lock a group before you check the group composition.)
