The team nailed the group assignments and feedback layout! Love that you can assess all students at once or quickly adjust for individual students.

Wonderful updates! Can't wait to share with teachers!

[nelsonhernandez]

GREAT!
These features are much needed. Thanks a lot Mike!

[LightPerspectives]

Great tutorial Mike!

Question: I’m launching a training and development business, would I be eligible for a Teams Education account?

I was going to select the Business Standard package, but it seems like the education features is more fitting.

Which leads me to my last question: since most of my clients are active only a few months throughout the year (for continued training and performance reviews), can they be assigned as Guest? If yes, will their files be deleted when inactive?

Appreciate your help. Thanks!

Thanks for the update, Mike!
May I know when can we expect the introduction of annotation feature in Assignments and MS Forms?

[marianipaye]

[michaeldanielson]

Hi, I cannot see the assignment and grade tab in left rail, others things like group assignment and searching option is available.

Group assignments look great! It would be incredible if Teams assignments got their own connectors in Power Automate.

So excited for the needs revision and group assignments! So many great things have been added to assignments I can’t wait to try them out. My one wish that is still left is when a graded assignment is returned to a student, it makes it more obvious than just a notification. Too many of my students never check their returned assignments and that can be very frustrating to the teacher. I wish it would pop up on their screen or have the notification bell move or something to make it more obvious. Or is there a way for teachers to tell whether or not students have looked at the grade and feedback?

Really enjoying your informative presentation. can I ask, when assignment are check in the assignment tab of teams or class notebook, is there no way of synching them?

Any upgrades on the file size limit for assignments. Is it still 50MB. What to you guys do if the students has to return in videos or design material which easily extends beyond 50MB. Is it possible to use Microsoft Stream for students to upload private video and return it as an answer to an assignment?

[sathishsarmasathianarayanan]

Hi, when the GROUP ASSIGNMENT feature rollout will happen? Any info on that?

[attackthebeat]

Have they updated the tag system yet. I find it weird that you could put tags on assignments but that they ultimately meant nothing because it would have no influence in the gradebook

[lamboiah]

Let me knw if I missed something but wouldn't the option to grab the tagged students as groups be useful here?

[wafab]

thank you sir for the details but i can't get the reading progress in my teams .. how can i add it ?

[Koroodetto]

What does the ‘draft’ tab do in assignment?

[sebastienbergeron]

Which build version is it ? Still not available here in Quebec / Canada.

[notnecessary]

TY, for the great video. Does anyone know how to load forms directly into assignment resources?
