An exercise set is the assignable homework unit. Individual exercises remain reusable in other sets.

Step 1. Open Exercise sets

Open the set workspace from the Exercises area. Search before creating a near-duplicate.

Exercise sets
Open the reusable set library.

Step 2. Create the set shell

Click Create. Enter a learner-facing title, choose subject and optional topic, and configure the displayed set type, volume, status, and maximum attempts. Static sets contain the exact selected tasks. Dynamic settings select from an eligible pool according to the displayed volume.

New exercise set
Enter the set name, subject, topic, type, and attempt rules.

Step 3. Add and order exercises

Click Add exercise, search the library, and add only reviewed tasks that match the subject and level. Arrange them from prerequisite to application. Reopen essays and interviews to check criteria, and verify correct answers for objective tasks before saving.

Exercise set editor
Add tasks and arrange them in learner order.

Step 4. Attach the set to a lesson

Open the saved lesson editor, scroll to Homework, and click Add exercise set. Select the reviewed set. Replacing or removing a set changes what the learner receives, so confirm the warning and save the lesson.

Lesson homework section
Attach or replace the exercise set inside the lesson.

Step 5. Preview and assign

Open Preview or a learner test account. Check order, media, answer controls, attempt count, and submission behavior. Only after this check should the course be shared with real learners.
