Short-Term vs. Long-Term Assignments

Short-Term Assignments

Short-Term assignments are a good fit for immediate classroom use and shorter homework windows.

  • Use for classwork, homework, review, and makeup assignments
  • Designed for shorter assignment windows
  • Helpful when you want students to complete something soon
  • Good for one lesson, one skill, or one short practice cycle

Long-Term Assignments

Long-Term assignments are a good fit for ongoing study plans and larger practice sequences.

  • Use for longer units, extended review, tutoring, and enrichment
  • Helpful for study systems that students work through over time
  • Good for repeated use across a longer instructional window
  • Works especially well for programs like SAT 400

What You Give Students

Students only need two things to begin:

  1. The Short URL for the activity
  2. The assignment code you created in the dashboard

Example

Short URL: rudolphacademy.com/sat400

Assignment Code: SAT123

You can write the Short URL and the assignment code on the board, post them in Google Classroom, or place them in your learning management system.

What Students Do

Once students receive the Short URL and assignment code, the process is simple.

  1. Go to the activity page
  2. Enter the assignment code
  3. Complete the activity
  4. Submit or finish the activity as designed

This system keeps access simple for students while still giving teachers a reporting structure.

Where to Find the Short URL

Every coded assignment activity on Rudolph Academy includes a Short URL that teachers and students use to access the activity quickly.

The Short URL is always located in the upper right-hand corner of the activity page.

What to Look For

  • Label: Short URL:
  • Position: upper right-hand corner of the page
  • Format: short, easy-to-type link (example: rudolphacademy.com/sat400)

Important Notes

  • Only coded assignment activities include a Short URL
  • If there is no Short URL, the activity is not part of the coded system
  • Students should always use the Short URL (not long browser links)
Tip: Before assigning an activity, open the page and check the upper right corner. If you see “Short URL:”, the activity is ready to use with an assignment code.
