Tasks and Assignments

Tasks

A task is the smallest part of a laboratory experiment. Task objectives description is usually displayed on the tablet.

• Special access privileges are required for performing actions with individual tasks, which are normally only available for the Teacher access level or more advanced levels.
• In this mode of operation, tasks may be completed, but performance statistics will not be saved, and self-check results are displayed at the end of the task.
• Users with higher access levels can create, edit, copy and delete tasks. These features are currently available in the early access mode.

Task completion

To complete the task, you need to achieve the task objectives, place the required reagents or objects on the test platform and press “Submit task”. If the task was not performed within a specific assignment, completion statistics will be displayed, and you will be able to return to the menu. If the task was completed within an assignment, statistics will be sent to the server, and your progress will be saved. Remember that if you complete a task within an assignment with a minimum grade or better, this result cannot be overwritten.

Assignments

An assignment consists of a series of tasks that must be completed either in sequence or in an arbitrary order and usually created and assigned by the teacher.

• Each task in an assignment has a minimum, passing and maximum grade, which sum up to the minimum, passing and maximum grade for the entire assignment.
• Assignments must be performed before the specified deadline.
• Assignments are issued through the user profile and are normally handed out by teachers.
• All active assignments and tasks, completion progress and deadlines can be viewed under the Assignments menu item in the central part. Task details and available actions are displayed in the right-hand window whenever a task is selected in the central window.
