Tasks

Tasks allows teachers to set the same questions for all students.

Create new tasks or copy from existing tasks.
Give the task a name. E.g. Homework, End of topic test, practice questions etc.
Optionally give students instructions.
Hide or enable help identifying the command word in the question and how an answer should be written.

Select the number of each type of question.
The options exactly match a course specification. E.g. if there are no 9-12 mark questions in a course they will not be available.
See how long the task will typically take most students.
Full mock exams for any paper.

Questions are automatically selected for the teacher to save time.
Every student in the class will get the same questions to answer.
Change the order of the questions by dragging and dropping.
Change any question for another either from the same topic or a different topic.
See which questions can be marked by AI.
See the full case study for questions that require them.

Teacher can mark the work.
Students can self-assess their own work.
Anonymous peer marking is supported.
Multiple-choice questions are automatically marked.
AI can mark most longer answer questions.
Decide who can put marks into the teacher mark book: students and teachers or teachers only.
Who marks the work can be changed at any time. E.g. start with peer assessment and when time runs out in the lesson, complete the remainder of the marking with AI.

Choose a date and time when the task will become available to students. The default is immediately.
Set an optional deadline date and time.
Choose if you want the task to automatically submit at the deadline even if the student hasn't finished.
Decide if you will allow late submissions. These will be flagged in the mark book.

A task will automatically be assigned to all students in a class, but this can be changed.
Copy the task to other classes.
Tasks that have been set before a student joined the class will not be shown to the student. Ideal for students joining during the academic year.
Give some students extra time. Ideal for extending deadlines for individual students or for supporting extra time in tests.

Mark schemes provided.
Chained lines of reasoning mark schemes with marking against assessment objectives (AOs).
Teacher can moderate all answers.
Mark answers by ticking bullet points on a mark scheme, and/or give an overall mark for each question.
Marks can be restricted to groups. E.g. 1 mark for a description and 2 for an explanation.
Leave feedback for students for a question or the whole task. AI provides a couple of sentences of feedback for each answer.
Choose feedback from a comment bank (M.A.R.C.K.S. strategy) and/or for teachers only, write prose.
Model answer videos and popular text book references.
When a task is committed to the mark book the outcomes also cascade to Quiz, Terms and Advance modes, updating data there too.
