Workflow at a glance
Course owners set up the task in the course editor, participants work on it in the course, and coaches accompany and assess the submissions.
In the tab "Workflow", course owners switch on the steps the task consists of and set the deadlines if needed. In the order of the user interface, these are:
- Task assignment: Course owners store one or more tasks. Participants choose a task or are assigned one and download it.
- Submission: Participants submit their solution, depending on the setting by a submission deadline.
- Feedback: Coaches give feedback on the submission. Alternatively, the participants assess each other in a peer review.
- Revision: If coaches request a revision, participants submit a new version.
- Sample solution: Participants see the sample solution, depending on the setting only from a set date.
- Grading: Coaches assess the submission, depending on the configuration with points or "Passed", and add a comment and assessment documents if needed.
Participants see the switched-on steps one below the other in the course element. They reach the next step as soon as the previous one is completed.
