30-150 Task

Overview

The course element Task allows for an electronic assignment of tasks. Finished tasks can be handed in and assessed electronically. Course participans have individual folders at their disposition and receive an assessment that is only visible to them. The status of the process (Assignment of tasks, submissions, assessment) can be viewed easily and quickly. Moreover, revisions of any given task can easily be called for.

If you would like to assign tasks to groups, the Course element Grouptask is available for you (see HelpCard 30-160). A Participant Folder offers a less complex task assignment with only a Drop Box and a Return Box available.
