Linking an existing assignment to multiple courses

Learn how to link a single eJournal assignment to multiple courses.

Do you want students to continue working on an assignment over multiple courses? It is possible to achieve this by linking a single eJournal assignment to more than one course in your LMS.

Follow this guide to create the assignment within the LMS first

  1. When launching the assignment from your LMS for the first time, choose the option 'Import An Existing Assignment'.
  2. Select the original course and the assignment that you want to link. link-assignment-modal
  3. Click 'Link' to link the assignment to the new course.

Warning

Synchronisation to the gradebook in your LMS can only be done for one course at a time. You can control which is the 'active' course by clicking 'Manage LTI' from the actions section on the assignment page in eJournal. Linking an assignment will make the newly linked course active by default.

After changing the active course, all students have to visit the assignment via that course in the LMS at least once before they can continue working on the assignment.This is required to ensure that grades can be synchronised with the gradebook of the correct course.

Warning

Do you want to re-use the same assignment configuration through various courses, but leave the original assignment and journals intact? Import the assignnment instead.
