Assign or Unassign Courses

Once you have created your playlist and added titles to the playlist, you need to assign the playlist to your course sections.

Caution

Students can only view media in a playlist that has been assigned to their course section. You cannot share a direct link to a video, students will receive an error message.

Playlists can be made available for a maximum of 15 days. If you need to make a playlist available for longer than 15 days, create a new assignment for the next 15-day period.

    UX Tip

    Playlists assigned a future date are not displayed to students until the future date is reached. At that time, the playlist will automatically become available to the students. Once the assignment window has passed the playlist will automatically disappear from the student's view.

  3. After the dates are set, click the checkbox next to the course(s) you would like to assign the playlist to.
    Caution

    The SML does not recognize courses that have been merged in Carmen. The playlist will need to be assigned to each course section to ensure all your students can view the assigned titles.

  4. Click Save Assignment.
