Assigning students to an existing task

Tasks that are set before a student joins a class will not be allocated to them. This is because students that join a class during the academic year from another school would not want to see all the tasks that were set previously that they have not had an opportunity to do.

After navigating to the tasks for a class by selecting the course, class and Tasks button, you can assign an existing task to students in two ways:

1. Using the Assign button next to the task. This will show you a list of all students in the class.

2. Using the View details panel for a task and Actions ... Set Task.



Any student not included in the task will be displayed at the bottom of the list in grey:


Click Actions and Set task to add them to the task.


Finally, click Assign task.


The student will now see the task in their dashboard.
