Due Today and Overdue Area

The Due Today and Overdue assignments area lists your assignments for all your classes that are due today or overdue. Each assignment is listed in a separate box showing the assignment type icon, the assignment title, the class name, the assignment due date, and whether it is due today or overdue.

In this area, do any of the following:

●      Click the View All Assignments link to open your Assignments page and see a complete list of your assignments. For example, your assignments that are not due today or overdue do not show up on the Home page, so you must visit the Assignments page to see these assignments.

●      If necessary, use the scroll bar on the side of the box to view all assignments that are due today or overdue.

●      Click Start or Continue to open any of the assignments or click I'm Done to submit; see details below:

– the assignment has not yet been opened

 – the assignment has been opened, but not yet completed or (if necessary) submitted

 – appears for some assignment types (such as eBooks or a PDFs); the assignment has been opened but requires you to click I'm Done to submit it to your teacher. (You can also submit eBook assignments from within the eBook.)

●      If necessary, use the filter list in the upper right corner to show only assignments that are Due Today or Overdue. You can then select View All again from the list, which is the default selection, to see both Due Today and Overdue assignments in this Home page list. (This filter appears only if your list includes more than 8 assignments.)

●      Assignments with a Google Classroom icon beside the names are "linked" with Google Classroom, which allows you to view and open these assignments in both Ed and Google Classroom. When you open a linked assignment, you may be prompted to sign in to your Google Classroom account. See Sign In to Google Classroom for instructions.

Note: Only overdue assignments that are up to 20 days past the due date are listed on your Home page. To see assignments that are more than 20 days past the due date, you must open the Assignments page. (See Complete Assignments for details.)

➔    Click a resource card in the Recently Viewed area to open it. If needed, use the arrows to view additional resource cards.

The resources recently opened in Ed or in HMH Go (the HMH offline app) appear in this area. For example, if you open resources while working in Ed and later open HMH Go, those same resources will appear in the HMH Go Recently Viewed area.

Virtual Classroom

The Virtual Classroom area shows a list of online learning sessions that your teachers have scheduled for you to attend. You can join an online session directly from this list.

Note: If you do not see a Virtual Classroom area, your school does not offer this option. If your Virtual Classroom area is empty, you do not have any virtual sessions scheduled by your teachers.

The Virtual Classroom list includes the sessions for all of your classes and displays sessions in order by date and time with the most current appearing first.

Each scheduled virtual session appears as a card, containing the name of the session, the date and time, and the name of the teacher who scheduled the session.
