Creating them in My Materials lets you reuse the same lesson across classrooms without uploading again.
(What used to be called a “learning material” is now simply a Lesson.)
Assignments are separate — create those in the Assignments library: Creating Assignments.
After you save from Sayo Chat, you’ll usually land back on your library with the new lesson highlighted so you can find it quickly.
