Use Class Notebook with assignments in Microsoft Teams

  • 7 minutes

By bringing together OneNote and Teams, you can harness the best of both applications for teaching and learning. If you create your OneNote Class Notebook through a Microsoft Teams team, you can create assignments linked to OneNote pages. The assignments tool distributes the content for you and link it to the assignment.

Distributing content through a Teams assignment has the benefit of collecting usage data in Insights. You can then track how students are using the Class Notebook.

  1. Go to the notebook page you want to distribute to students as an assignment. Ensure that all material for the assignment is included in the page.

  2. Navigate to Assignments in the main menu.

  3. Choose Create to create a new assignment.

Activity

Create an assignment in Microsoft Teams, either using the page you created in the Content Library unit or another one you created. Don't forget-you need to have a section to distribute the page to, so confirm that is in place first.
