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:
- The Short URL for the activity
- The assignment code you created in the dashboard
Example
Short URL: rudolphacademy.com/fig-lang
Assignment Code:BVDR4S
Class Period Number:4
What Students Do
Once students receive the Short URL and assignment code, the process is simple.
- Go to the activity page
- Enter their name, assignment code, and class period number
- Complete the activity
- Submit or finish the activity as designed
This system keeps access simple for students while still giving teachers a reporting structure. Be sure to tell students to enter their period number so that class period reports appear in your dashboard.
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 located in the upper corner of the activity page.
What to Look For
- Label: Short URL:
- Position: upper corner of the page
- Format: short, easy-to-type link (example: rudolphacademy.com/us-presidents-game)
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)
