New assignments have a Start button that students click to start working on the assignment. Previously started assignments have an Open button that students click to resume working. Some assignments include a New Feedback icon if their teacher has provided feedback.
Feedback
An envelope icon displays for each activity with feedback or scores in a student’s stream. The envelope icon displays as closed if the student has any unread feedback or scores. The envelope displays as open if the student has viewed all feedback and scores within that activity. Students click the New Feedback icon to open the lesson or activity and review their teacher’s comments and grades.
