Team

Overview

A team assessment allows groups of learners to work on joint submissions. The instructor organizes the learners into teams, each of which gets their own private group. Each team uses their group for collaboration and creation of their submissions. At the end, the instructor can grade each learner based on their participation and their team's submission.


The 'Teams' area lists the teams and the number of learners in each team. Each team is a group with standard features such as a resources area, wiki, forum, and chat. To see the team's group, click on its name. Only an instructor and the learners in a particular team can access its group. To add a team, click Add team.
















Then enter its name, and click Save.






To delete a team, select it and click Remove.

To select the learners for a particular team, select the team and click Submit. Then select the learners you want in the team and click Save. learners marked with  are already in another team.




























Submissions

A learner can visit their team's group by clicking on its name in the Team area of their assessment. 

In most cases, a team will use the group for collaboration and storage of its submission. For example, they can upload files, HTML, and video into the group's 'resources' area and use the wiki and forum for communication. They can even maintain a team blog in the group's blog area.





















To submit an answer, a learner clicks on 'Prepare answer', enters their answer using the HTML editor together with an unlimited number of attachments (word documents, images, videos, etc.), then clicks 'Save and submit for grading' or 'Save but don't submit yet' if they want to refine their work before submitting it.

























Grading

To grade a learner's participation and submission, click their icon in the 'Grades' tab. For convenience, learners are grouped by team together with a link to their group. To see or change a grade click the  icon.
