We have launched a new SharePoint web part exclusive for Cloud Design Box customers called My Assignments, allowing students to see all their current and upcoming assignments from their SharePoint homepage.
Your school’s SharePoint homepage should give students a quick overview of what’s going on in the school community, and their classroom.
Popular features of a school intranet include the latest news, an announcement from the headteacher and maybe even a word of the day/week to get students thinking.
But, a common question we get asked by our customers is “Is there a way to show upcoming assignments on the homepage?” and that’s why we created this new web part.
Schools can now add My Assignments to their SharePoint’ pages.
The student can see what assignments are coming up, what class they’re for and when they’re due. The ones that are overdue are highlighted in red.
What’s more, the student can click the assignment and be taken directly to that assignment page in Microsoft Teams.
The My Assignments web part has been designed to make it easier for students to keep track of assignments and take more ownership of their learning.

If you’re a Cloud Design Box customer, you can edit your SharePoint home page and add the My Assignments web part to the page. Please get in touch with support if you need assistance with this.
If you’re not a customer but want to find out how we can help your school or trust achieve more with Microsoft 365, get in touch with a member of our team right now.
