As an teacher you have the ability of adding / viewing homework for the students within your sections. Homework is a great way to provide information on an assignment and allow for easy online submissions.
Note: the label "Homework" can be renamed by a school admin. Some common alternative names for Homework are Assignments and Coursework.
