Setting a Task

Step 1 - In the user bar, select Set a New Task.

Step 2 - Start typing the name of the student or group you want to set the task to, then choose the relevant result from the drop-down. You can also choose from your lists of classes and students.

To quickly set a task to just a few students in a class, select a class and click + next to its name. This will display all of the students in that class. You can then remove a student by selecting X.

Step 3 - Enter the name of a colleague in the Co-Owner to share the task with them. This might be another teacher, a cover teacher or a head of department.

Step 4 - Scroll to the Details section and give your task a title. You can add a description later, so keep it short and simple.

Step 5 - Select the calendar picker, then choose a due date. By default, the start date is set to today but you can also change that if you'd like.

You can also set a task to start in the future which is great for planning ahead!

By default, the task is visible in the markbook and parent portal. Choose whether or not to make them visible by ticking the box.

Step 6 - In the Assessment section, select whether students are required to submit a file before marking a task as complete.

Step 7 - Decide how you will assess the task. Select mark, grade, mark and grade, feedback only or no assessment. If you chose mark, select what the mark should be out of if you want. You can edit this field later.

You can also add success criteria for a task.

Step 8 - Review your task then select Set Task.

You can always scroll back up to make any edits to your task.
