Using MyGo1? If you're still on our legacy platform, see Assigning and Managing learning (MyGo1)
Create assignments to deliver required or recommended learning to specific people or groups in your organization.
Who can create assignments
You can assign up to 50 pieces of content and select any number of learners in a single assignment. If you need to assign content to people you don't manage, you'll need Content Admin or Administrator permissions.
Assign content
1. Choose the content you want to assign
Search for the content you need to assign. You can assign a single course or item, or select up to 50 at once.
2. Select Assign
The Assign button appears in Search, and on the content detail page.
3. Select your recipients
Choose who should receive this assignment:
Learners tab: Search by name or email address, or use filters to find specific people. Select individuals by checking the box next to their name.
Groups tab: Search for and select one or more groups.
You can switch between tabs to add both individuals and groups to the same assignment.
4. Select Next
5. Name your assignment
The assignment name defaults to the content title. You can edit this to something more meaningful for your organization—for example, "Q1 Compliance Refresher" instead of the course title.
6. Choose your assignment type
Select the type that matches your learning timeline:
Fixed due date
Everyone completes the learning by the same specific date. Set your due date in the date picker.Rolling due date
Everyone gets the same amount of time from when they receive the assignment. Enter the number of days, weeks, or months learners have to complete the learning.
When you assign to a group with rolling due dates, new group members automatically receive the assignment with their own completion timeframe.No due date
Learners complete the learning at their own pace.
7. Choose when to assign
Assign immediately: Learners receive the assignment as soon as you create it.
Schedule: Choose a future date to deliver the assignment. This works well when you're planning ahead for quarterly learning programs.
8. Optional: Set the assignment to repeat
If you selected fixed due date or rolling due date, you can make the assignment repeat automatically:
Select Repeat
Choose your interval: Annually, every 6 months, every 3 months (quarterly), monthly or set a custom schedule
Each recurrence creates a separate assignment instance. This works well for compliance refresher training or regular skill development.
9. Click Create assignment
You'll see a confirmation message and can view the assignment created on the Assignments page here.
Tips
Naming assignments: Use names that clearly communicate the purpose or timeframe. "New Manager Onboarding - Week 1" is clearer than repeating the course title.
Scheduling in advance: You can create all your quarterly assignments at once by scheduling different start dates. Each assignment remains in your Scheduled tab until its assign date, and learners don't receive notifications until the assignment date.
Group assignments with rolling due dates: When new members join the group, they automatically receive any active rolling due date or self-paced assignments. Fixed due date assignments don't apply to people who join after the assignment is created.
