Doing Assignments
If you have teachers using Edcite, any of these teachers may send you assignments that can be done online. These assignments will appear in your notifications list on the right of your screen. If your teacher has enabled email for your account, you may receive email notifications as well.
Opening Assignments
To open a new assignment, go to your Edcite page and click on the New Assignments link on the right side of your page to go to the list of new assignments. Then select the assignment you want to open and click the Open button.
This opens the assignment page for the selected assignment. The assignment page has details including the due dates, teacher name, and one or more activitiess in the assignment. Complete and submit each activity in the assignment.
Completing Activities in the Assignment
Each assignment has one or more activities. Your teacher requires you to complete and submit each activity in the assignment, before you submit the assignment.
For each activity in the assignment, click the Open button and do the assignment. Complete all questions in the assignment before submitting the assignment. You may check answers for each question as you go. However, you must submit the assignment by clicking the Submit question button.
Complete and submit each of the activities in the assignment.
Note: In case your login gets timed out before you submit an assignment, do NOT close or move away from your assignment page. Open a new browser tab while keeping the current page open. Go to www.edcite.com and login to your account. Then you will be able to submit the assignment from your original page without losing work.
Submitting Assignments
Once all questions in the assignment have been completed, you will need to submit the assignment.
To submit an assignment, go to your Edcite page and click on Show Assignments. Then open the assignment, which brings up the Assignment page. Confirm that you have submitted all activities in the assignment. Then click the Submit Assignment button to submit the assignment.
Viewing Assignment Reports
Once you have submitted an assignment, you can view a report on the assignment. Go to your Edcite page and click on the Show Assignments button to go to the list of assignments. Then select the assignment you want and click the Report button.
The report will immediately include scores for all activities and questions that are automatically graded.
In some cases the fully completed assignment report may be available only after some time. When any activity in the assignment has one or more manually graded questions, or for changes to scores made by teachers, as well as for any teacher comments on your answers, the full report will become available as soon as your teacher enters the information into Edcite. Check with your teacher in case you are unsure if the teacher has completed his or her corrections and comments on the assignment.
Reviewing Old Assignments
You can review and practice old assignments at any time. To go back to an old assignment, go to your Edcite page and click on Show Assignments. Then open the desired assignment, which brings up the Assignment page. From there you can view reports as well as view and practice any activities you would like to go back to.
In rare cases, your teacher may remove the old assignment questions, in which case you will not be able to access the questions in a previous assignment.
