Use Case: Managing the Homework Cycle

Walkthrough for homework assignment, tracking, verification, and feedback.

For the full homework management reference, see Homework Management. For the student's perspective, see Submitting Homework.

Prerequisites

  • Active course with enrolled students
  • Homework lessons created in your course (using the Lex Editor)
  • Familiarity with the Lex Editor

Phase 1: Creating Homework Content

Homework assignments are course lessons with type Homework. Create them in your course using the Lex Editor.

Open Your Course

Go to Courses in the sidebar, then open the course you want to add homework to.

Create a Homework Lesson

Create a new lesson and set its type to Homework. Give it a clear, descriptive name (e.g., "Unit 3: Past Tense Practice").

Build Content

Use the Lex Editor to add:

  • Instructions and context
  • Exercises (multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, matching, sentence builder)
  • Reading passages or vocabulary lists
  • Audio or media for listening tasks

Save

Save the lesson. It is now part of your course and ready to be assigned.

Phase 2: Assigning Homework

Open Homework in the sidebar, click Assign, select the homework lesson and recipients (individual student or group), set the date, and confirm. See Homework Management — Assigning for the full walkthrough.

Phase 3: Tracking Progress

Use the Homework page to monitor submissions. Filter by status (Unchecked, Added, Started, Verified, Canceled) to find what needs attention. The status flow is: Added → Started → Passed → Verified. See Homework Management — The Homework Page for the full status reference.

Phase 4: Verifying Submissions

Filter by Unchecked to see submitted homework. Open a submission, review auto-checked and manual exercises, add written feedback (up to 1024 characters), and click Finish to verify. See Homework Management — Verifying for details.

Phase 5: After Verification

After verifying submissions, review common patterns:

  • Common mistakes or weak areas across students
  • Which exercises students struggled with most
  • Whether the homework difficulty was appropriate

Use these insights to plan review sessions and adjust future homework.
