Tasks

A Learning Activity can be modified from within the Course Outline component on a Class page. One of the key additions available once a Learning Activity has been exported to the Class page is the ability for a teacher to define a Custom Participation Plan. Custom Participation allows you to differentiate learning activities for your students. 

1. Navigate to your Class page.

2. Create a new activity or select the 3-dot menu next to the learning activity you wish to adjust or remove for specific students.

3. Select 'Modify'.

4. Select the drop-down arrow next to 'Participation and Learning Plans'.

Excluding Students from a Learning Activity

1. Select the student/s you wish to exclude using the checkbox next to their profile picture.

2. Use the drop down arrow next to 'Modify Participation' and select ‘Exclude from assessment’.

3. Select 'Update'.

Creating a Custom Learning Plan for a Learning Activity

1. Select the student/s you wish to create a new learning plan for using the checkbox next to their profile picture.

2. Use the drop down arrow next to 'Modify Participation' and select ‘Create New Plan’.

3. Give the Learning Plan a name. 

4. If required, modify the activity description. 

5. If required, modify the publish date, open date, due date and close date. 

6. If required, modify participants by typing their name into the box and selecting their name and/or select the cross next to a student's name to remove them.

7. Select ‘Save’

NOTE: When creating a new learning plan, the method of grading cannot be adjusted, so if an alternative Mark Type or Rubric is required, you will need to create a new learning activity.

1. Navigate to the Assessments icon in the Top Menu.

2. Select and apply filters to view the submission and marking status of assessments.

3. Select the drop-down arrow to view student submissions.

4. Scroll down to view Overdue Assessments.

Managing Learning Activities and Timetable Changes

Learning activities will continue to exist, with their publish, open, due and late dates regardless of what happens to a timetable and it being rolled over. However, students who are no longer enrolled in the class because of a change to the timetable will lose the work being associated to them unless one (or more) of these is done:
- The student attempts/submits the learning activity.
- The teacher marks them as having attempted/submitted to the learning activity.
- The teacher gives some form of feedback or a grade.
- The student is enrolled again via a new class code.
- The student is added to the page by a group permission.
