Use Checklists to highlight important and/or required assignments, documents or other topics. This way you help students to stay focused and not to forget anything. For example, create a checklist for each course week (e.g. what a student should read for the next week), for an assignment (e.g. which assignments the student should do for the course), or for a specific topic (e.g. what are important terms that the student must learn).

• Click on Course Admin in the navbar of your course.
• Click Checklist. You land on the checklist homepage.

You see an overview of all your checklists.

1. Give the checklist a name (for example Preparation seminar 1).
