Updated: May 2021

Applies to: Institution Admin, College Admin, Department Admin, Course Coordinator

Description:  Institution Admins may create different types of assignment templates where students are scored directly (with or without Rubric Criteria) in AEFIS that may imported to multiple Courses or Co-curricular Activities.  These are commonly used in General Education Assessment Program Assessment processes to reduce the manual work of creating an assignment in every Course included in Educational Experiences.  These templates may be applied to Courses, which will then be carried down to each subsequently imported Course Section or user-created Co-Curricular Section.  This guide provides instructions on how to import an Assignment Template into a Course.
