Learning environments are not confined to the space provided by classrooms. Various working areas in the school, the schoolyard, nature, urban environments, libraries and parks offer a multitude of possibilities to follow the curriculum. Teaching is very rarely based completely on textbooks. Various digital environments, games, Internet content and magazines are part of fluent teaching methods.
The task list enables you to collate various actions of different learning environments and provide learners with tasks and instructions. The learners’ progress on their learning paths and how they evaluate their own performance in tasks are displayed to you in real-time. As a teacher, you can also evaluate the learners’ performance in each task.
By default, the class initially includes a single task list. You can add tasks to the list by clicking the Add task (2) button.
To create an entirely new task list, click the Add task list (3) button. This is described in more detail below.
By clicking the Settings icon (4) in the task list, you can edit, copy remove the list.
By clicking the Settings icon (⚙) of an individual task, you can edit, copy remove the task.
Click the Teacher’s assessment (5) button to assess the learners’ task-specific performance from your perspective.
The 'Submission on behalf of a learner' (6) allows you to be the one uploading the content instead of the learner.
You can toggle the assessment data between learner self-assessment and teacher assessment (7).
Clicking the name of a learner (8) brings up more individual learning data.
Individual learner submissions are marked with a apper clip icon (9), which you can click to view it in more detail, assess it and give comments.
Learning tasks can be filtered with the subject buttons (10).
Click the Add task list button.
Name the task list and define the period of its validity (you can also schedule the task list to become valid later).
Task lists can be created in three ways. Select the appropriate task list method

Learners can see anonymous details on the progress of other learners in the class through their own interface.
Learners divide assignments among themselves. The teacher can also choose which learner will do the task.
The learners complete the tasks in groups. One member of the group will register a task as completed on behalf of the entire group.

If you copy the task list (either entirely or just the settings), the suitable subjects are pre-selected in the subjects column of the task list.
You can also add new subjects by clicking on the “Add new subject” button.

The task cards always present the learners with one or more buttons to mark a single task as completed. This always includes a self assessment of the success of the task or achievement of the goal.
