Building Bunk Collections can be a great way for students to practice—and demonstrate—their online research skills. We’ve built a tool that allows educators to create a research assignment and to easily gather student submissions. Here’s how to use it.

In order to create a Bunk Assignment, you’ll need to first enter your name and email address. If you’d like, you can also use the same form to give your Assignment a title, a due date, and instructions. Click Create Assignment, and you’ll receive an email with a unique ID code along with a shareable link.

To distribute the assignment to your students, you can give them the ID code, the link—or both.

If you provide them with the ID code, students will need to include it when submitting their Collection to your Assignment.
If you provide them with the shareable link, ensure your students click the Start a Collection button on the Assignment page to ensure that their collection is submitted to your Assignment.

Once your Assignment is all set up, you’ll receive an email notification whenever a student submits a collection.
