Tasks (assignments) 1 - Create and assign

Click on New Task in the corresponding section of the library or by clicking on the New menu in any other section.

In the task creation window where we go through three sections: basic, content and evaluation. Throughout the process and depending on the options that we activate, new steps may appear.

Name the assignment and include a summary. This will be accessible both to students when they receive the assignment and to other teachers who want to use it. It should be clear and concise.

In the content you can add another image that will be visible to the students in the context of the task statement. Add the statement or text indicating what you expect from the students.

Usually the objective will be for students to submit something (an essay, a paper, a video, an image...), by activating this option you will be able to enter information about the type of submission (file or link), file format, maximum weight and include a description of the deliverable.

In this step you can add links or files for the student to use as study material for solving the assignment. In the instructions section you can give information for other teachers (who can correctly use this assignment in their classes) or for the students.

Once published, any teacher user with access to it can click on it to see its details.

The first step is to choose the subject and the group of students. An assignment can be given to a whole class (from which we can exclude students if necessary), to a group of students (which we can name) or to a specific student.

You can set the assignment without a deadline for students to complete it whenever they want or give a time limit, after which students may no longer be able to submit the assignment.

There are four types of assessment that you can see in the image: graded (goes to the gradebook and averages with the rest), graded, with feedback (both give the student a grade but do not save the grade or average) and non-graded (for example, for the student to review or practice topics without the teacher's help), choose the one that corresponds.

From now on as a teacher you can find the task in the Ongoing section of the platform along with other activities you have previously assigned. By clicking on the task row you can see execution statistics, individual deliverables and other progress data.

If you have checked the option "Notify students", students will receive an email in their mailbox, by clicking on it, they can access the assignment directly. This email will include the teacher's personalized message as well as the teacher's name and image.

In both the program and subject dashboard the student will be able to see that he/she has this task available for completion. By clicking on the card the students will access to start the task.

Leemons is based on Agile Learning methodology, learners can manage their workload with a tool called Kanban. When a task is assigned to a learner, it will appear in the to do column, by clicking on it they will be able to see the task detail and start it.

At Leemons we know that there are as many learning and organizational styles as there are people, so we provide learners with a variety of ways to manage their tasks, such as the calendar. Here they will also be able to see the task with its start and end dates, clicking on it will take them to the event detail screen and they will be able to start it.

Communication between teachers and students is key to creating high-performance teams. Among the interconnected functionalities of the activities, Leemons automatically creates in Comunica a chat channel for the assignment when it is assigned to the students.
