Educators can use Scorebook in a number of ways, but the ability to quickly lock or unlock specific assignments on an individual student level or entire section level is one of the most powerful.

Step by step instructions on locking/unlocking assignments using Scorebook.

2. Select the specific Section you’d like to view the Scorebook for from the list of available Sections. This will open the Scorebook for that Section, showing every student currently assigned to it.

Note: If you only have access to one Section within Subject, you’ll be taken directly to that Scorebook without needing to select it first.

3. Once you’re in the Scorebook for your chosen Section, use the filter options at the top to organize your students and easily locate the assignments you’d like to lock.
You can filter by:
