30-160 Grouptask

Overview

With the Grouptask you can organise the submission of a group work, contrary to the course element Task (see HelpCard 30-150). All group members have access to the elements of the group task. Finished works can be submitted electronically and assessed.

The status of the process (Assignment of tasks, submissions, assessment) can be viewed easily and quickly.

In HelpCard 20-010, you can find out how to create a group.
