Task Lists

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. Various digital environments, games, and Internet content are essential parts of innovative teaching and learning methods.

The learning task list enables teachers to collate various actions of different learning environments and provide learners with learning tasks and instructions. The learners’ progress on their learning paths and how they evaluate their own performance in tasks are displayed in real-time. As a teacher, you can also evaluate the learners’ performance in each learning task.

Using the Learning Task List Functions

You can manage the tasks lists of a class by clicking the Teaching button.

By default, the class initially includes a single learning task list. You can add learning tasks to the list by clicking the Add learning task button.
To create an entirely new learning task list, click the Add learning task list button. This is described in more detail below.
By clicking the Settings icon (⚙) 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 learning task.
Click the Teacher’s assessment button to assess the learners’ task-specific performance from your perspective.

Creating a New Learning Task List

Click the Add learning task list button.
Name the learning task list and define the period of its validity (you can also schedule the task list to become valid later).
Learning task lists can be created in three ways. Select the appropriate learning task list method
- Use editable settings
  - Using this method generates a task list in which you can select suitable school subjects from a selection that includes all subjects taught in comprehensive schools.
  - The learning task list’s default self-evaluation scale is a four-point scale and its descriptions. You can change these settings when creating the task list.
- Copy previously generated learning task list
  - This method allows you to copy a previously generated learning task list or a task list shared by a co-teacher. The learning task list’s settings and tasks are copied in the process.
- Copy the settings of a previously generated learning task list
  - Selecting this method allows you to copy the settings and self-evaluation scale of previously created learning task lists or task lists shared by a co-teacher.

Each Learning Task List can be linked to any one of the planners created within the class. By doing this, you will be able to use the outcomes selected for the linked planner as a basis of your learning tasks.

You can link to a planner from the dropdown at the bottom of the window.

It is also possible to create a stand alone list that is not connected to any of the planners. In case you wish to create such a list, simply leave the dropdown untouched.

You can specify the learning task list settings with the additional functions available in the Sharing phase:

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

Select the self-assessment scale

- - 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. You can select the button texts and detailed descriptions visible to learners when creating the task list.

Editing and Removing a Learning Task List and Other Actions

You can manage learning task lists with the following buttons:

Editing and removing learning task lists can be performed in a menu that can be opened by clicking on this button.

Statistics related to the performance of the learning task list can be viewed by clicking on this button.

You can add filters to view only the learning tasks of the subjects you want to see by clicking on the subject’s name (the name becomes white). The tasks become visible by clicking on the button again.

Use the Filter more closely option to view only the learning tasks that use the tags you select. The tasks become visible by clicking on the button again.

Active / Future / History

Learning task lists are divided into active and future tasks and task history, based on their periods of validity.
Active learning task lists are currently available and visible.
Future learning task lists are not visible to the learner. The teacher can edit and view them.
Tasks in the learning task history are no longer valid and cannot be completed by the learner. Both the learner and teacher can view them.
