How Do I Copy a Bongo Assignment to a New Class?

You can copy a Bongo assignment from one course to another course.

Create the Bongo Assignment in Canvas

  1. Enter a title for the Assignment.  It must be unique to all your other course assignment titles and cannot be changed once the assignment has been saved.
  2. Add Points

Select  External Tool for Submission Type

  1. Select External Tool for Submission Type.
  2. Click Find and select Bongo Learn from the external tool list.
  3. Check Load This Tool in a New Tab.

Complete and Save the Assignment Information

  1. Select Limited or Unlimited from the Allowed Attempts dropdown menu.  Although Canvas lets you set the number of allowed attempts, you will also need to set this in Bongo.
  2. Enter Due, Available from, and Until dates.
  3. Click Save. Remember to click Save & Publish once you have completed creating the Bongo assignment.

Tufts recommends that you do NOT set the dates in Bongo. Only set dates within Canvas

Load (Assignment name) in a new window

Select 'Show Advanced Options'

Select Copy and Existing Course

Select the course you want to copy and click continue

NEVER uncheck 'Allow Direct Linking" this is what allows the communication between Bongo and your canvas course

Select Assignment

From the overview page select - Overview in the top left corner

Click configure

The assignment name should match the assignment you created in Canvas

NOTE: Do NOT change the name of the assignment. Once you have linked as Canvas assignment with a Bongo assignment you cannot change the name in Canvas or Bongo. This will break the connection to the assignment.

Configure your assignment details.
