Recommending content using the Assignments Tab

An assignment allows you recommend content to your team/users. You can now assign Learning Paths, Modules and Rooms to all users, groups and/or individuals.

Creating assignments

To create an assignment, go to the Assignments tab. Click on the Create New Assignment:

This will take you to the Content Studio, where you can browse through and assign both your own custom content, alongside TryHackMe's catalogue of Learning Paths, Modules and Rooms.

Once you have chosen your content, Go ahead and assign the content to either all users, individual users or a group by clicking Assign Path, Assign Module, Assign Room.

Creating an assignment requires the following details:

Assignment Title: this field contains a title used to represent the nature of the assignment.

Assigns To: provides assignments to either all users, groups and/or individuals. The groups can be found and created under the Groups tab.

Enable Deadline Date: select a deadline for the assignment. When the deadline is enabled, If a user tries to access the room after the deadline date, they will be unable to access it.

Click Create Assignment and you will be directed to the Assignments Tab where you can manage the details of the Assignment such as changing the deadline date when necessary or Deleting the Assignment.

When the assignment is created, users will receive an email allowing them to access the content. You can also use the assignment share link to distribute the assignment to users. This is useful when you want to present/distribute the assignment through written media like PDF documents and PowerPoint.

Viewing and managing assignments

When creating assignments on TryHackMe, you can retrieve live reports on how users perform within that assignment. To retrieve reports, go to the Assignments on your dashboard. On your overview page, you will see a list of assignments you have created.

Once they start to complete the content assigned, you will see their activity under User Progress.

The User Progress table represents a high-level overview of users' progress in the room. You can use this information such as ‘Questions Complete, Average attempts and Progress’ to determine whether users are performing according to a particular standard and gauge how well they're doing on the assignment.

Additional Reporting

Click the Spreadsheet button to download a spreadsheet containing users' progress. The spreadsheet will include the following details:

1. Rank In The Room

2. Username

3. Score

4. True/False value on whether the user got a question correct

Deleting an Assignment

By deleting an assignment, users will no longer have access to the content, and you will not have access to the corresponding data. Updating the deadline allows you to extend the deadline so that users can access the content. It is also possible to remove the deadline feature so that users can access the content without a time constraint.

Note: Want to Brand Your Content? - Enabling this will replace the room logo and avatar with the ones provided by the instructor. You can change this under the Settings tab.
