30-150 Task

What you need to know

This course element enables electronic assignment of tasks to course participants. Completed assignments can be submitted and assessed electronically. Course participants have individual folders and receive an assessment that can only be viewed with their account. The status of the individual process (e.g. assignment of tasks, submission, assessment) can be viewed at a glance at any time. Revisions can also be requested.

If you want to assign tasks to groups, you can use the Grouptask module (see HelpCard 30-160). The Participant Folder (see HelpCard 30-140) is a somewhat less extensive course element that is purely a submission and return folder.

What you need to do

  1. In your course, click on Administration and then Course editor. The course editor opens.
  2. Click Insert course elements and choose Task from the list. The course element has now been created in the course structure and can be moved (later if required) using drag & drop. Alternatively, you can use the Quick-Add function in the yellow menu bar to enter the name of the desired course element and insert it into your course by pressing the Enter key.
  3. In the Title and description tab, enter the Title to be displayed in the course structure on the left. Click on Insert additional information to enter additional learning objectives, instructions or notes for supervisors. You can also set a direct link to this course element in order to refer to the course element from outside or within the course by clicking on the text highlighted in blue and copying the existing link. Save your entries.
  4. In the Visibility and Access or Learning path tabs, you can adjust the visibility and access if required:
    • If your course is a conventional course, you will find more detailed information on this at HelpCard 10-030.
    • If your course is a learning path, you will find more detailed information on this at HelpCard 10-031. In addition to the options listed there, further conditions are available for selection as Completion criterion in the Assignment module:
      • Score: The course element is completed when a minimum number of points is reached. Please note: The minimum and maximum points must also be entered in the Assessment tab.
      • Passed: The course element is completed when it is manually or automatically graded as passed. Please note: Enter the date from which the course element is passed in the Grading tab under Passed/ Not passed.
      • Execution done: The course element is completed when the workflow has been finalised.
  5. In the tab Layout you can change the layout of course elements. You can add different background images to individual course elements or change the text colour. You can find out how to do this at HelpCard 10-033.
  6. In the Workflow tab, select which elements of the task element should be activated.
    • Obligation: Define whether the submission of the task is mandatory or optional (only for conventional courses).
    • Relative date: Instead of entering calendar dates, you can also work with relative dates. For example, you can specify how many days after the first course attendance the assignment remains open.
    • Task assignment: Select the date by which the assignment can be collected or assigned.
    • Submission: Select the deadline for submission.
    • Late submission: This setting only appears if the submission is defined. Late submission after the submission deadline can be permitted here.
    • Feedback: Corrected assignments can be returned with feedback By coaches or With peer review. You can find more information on peer review in HelpCard 30-151 under Tab Revision and feedback.
    • Revision: The assignment can be resubmitted after a revision phase.
    • Sample solution: A sample solution will be provided to all participants.
    • Grading: Individual feedback, scoring or the indication of pass/fail is possible.
    • Manage assignments/sample solutions: Supervisors can manage assignments or sample solutions.
    • Assignment coaches/participants: The task can be assigned to supervisors or course owners for correction.
  7. Then configure the following tabs according to your requirements. You can find an overview of the options at HelpCard 30-151.
  8. Click on the red X at the top right to close the course editor. To publish the change, select the option Yes, automatically (for details on publishing, see HelpCard 10-020). All changes have now been applied in the course view that opens.
