How do I set homework assignments with submission deadlines?
It’s easy to set online homework assignments in just a few steps. HELBLING e-zone guides you through the process.- First, select your homework assignment.
Cyber Homework is available for most courses, grammar books and readers. Each homework assignment is a unit that includes a series of individual exercises. Each individual exercise trains a specific skill. It generally takes around 10 to 20 minutes to complete a homework assignment. Click on Assign to set the homework assignment. - There is then an option to Select further homework to assign additional homework from the same material with the same deadline.
- Select students. You can either set a homework assignment to all of the students in the course or to individual students.
- Set the homework start date and deadline.
- Click on Assign to save your assignment. The homework assignment is then set. You can edit the assignment at any time.
You can assign the same homework units more than once. This allows your students to repeat previous exercises to deepen their knowledge.
How do I check my students’ progress with homework assignments?
You can see an overview on the HOME page and on the COURSES page. You can find more detailed information on the Course overview page. Here, while homework assignments are open, you can see how many students have completed the homework assignments so far.
Then, on the Results overview for the course, you can check the detailed results for a specific homework assignment and for individual students. The results of homework assignments are permanently saved on HELBLING e-zone. You can check your students’ results at any time.
How do I set project tasks?
- Some titles offer a project component, which is usually named Projects or CLIL Projects. The students receive an independent writing task related to their course book content.
- The procedure to assign a project task is very similar to setting a homework assignment (see FAQ: How do I set homework assignments with submission deadlines?). However, in addition to setting the start date and deadline, you also need to set dates and times for the assessment period.
- During the assessment period, both you and your students can read the contributions of the other students and evaluate them on a scale of 1 to 10 points. You can also comment on each contribution, thus also providing a written evaluation. This mutual evaluation encourages positive competition and the students deepen their knowledge by reading the contributions of their fellow students on the topic of the task.

What do I do? above. Once you are logged in to your HELBLING e-zone account, you can enter your course ID. Depending on the course preferences you may get immediate access, or your request may need to be confirmed by your teacher first.
Once you have joined the course, you will see which homework assignment(s), i.e. Cyber Homework, are currently set for you. The date and time next to the symbol mean that the homework assignment needs to be completed by then.
How do I complete my homework assignments?
A homework assignment includes several individual exercises. You will need around 10 to 20 minutes to complete a homework assignment.
All exercises have right or wrong answers. Your teacher has no influence on the result. Your teacher can only see how many points you scored and which activities you got right or wrong.
The overview shows you the exercises you have already completed and the ones you have not yet completed. While the homework assignment is open you can do the exercises again, as many times as you like. Your most recent result is the only one that counts at the end.
How do I check my assignment results?
Once the submission deadline for a homework assignment has passed, you can no longer do the activities. Instead, you can now (permanently) see the points scored for each individual exercise.
Depending on the settings chosen by your teacher, you may get your results automatically at the end of the exercise. After the deadline you may be able to click on the results to see exactly what was right and wrong in each activity.
What can I do on HELBLING e-zone?
The learning platform contains a wealth of materials relating to numerous HELBLING titles. The resources vary depending on the title, and may include:
- e-book+
a state-of-the-art interactive Students Book and Workbook, which includes embedded audio and video, self-correcting tasks, extra practice, plus additional interactive activities. - Cyber Homework and Extra Practice

What do I need to do when my teacher sets project tasks?
Some titles give your teacher the option of setting a Project or CLIL Project task. This means you have to write a text on a topic. When a project task is assigned to you, you can see it on the HOME page, just like homework assignments.
Just like homework assignments, project tasks have a submission deadline. You need to complete your task by the time and date shown. You can edit your text at any time before the deadline.
Project tasks are not automatically evaluated like homework assignments, which is why they have an assessment period after the submission deadline. Depending on the settings chosen by your teacher, other students may be involved in the evaluation process. This may allow you to see, evaluate and comment on all the submissions from the other students.
How do I communicate with my teacher?
You will find the MESSAGES page in the HELBLING e-zone main menu. Your teacher can write messages to individual students or to all of the students. If you have an unread message, you will also see a notification on your HOME page.
The messages overview shows you which messages are new. Messages that have already been read are kept until your teacher deletes them.
Clicking on Message read for a message shows your teacher that you have read the message.
You can only respond directly to messages if your teacher has allowed it in the settings. You may also be able to see and send messages to the other students. However, please note that your teacher can read all the messages.
If allowed by your teacher, you may also be able to Create a new message yourself.
