Tasks
Tasks work the same way in an organization as they do for an individual tutor, with one addition: work set by one tutor is visible to the people responsible for it, so nothing depends on a single person being around.
Who can do what
Tutors set tasks for the students they teach and review the answers. Owners and admins can see tasks across the organization, which is what makes it possible to pick up a caseload when someone is away or has left. Students only ever see the tasks assigned to them.
Setting a task
Creating a task in the organization workspace works exactly as it does personally — the difference is scope, not mechanics.
- 01Switch to your organization workspace.
- 02Open Tasks and select New task.
- 03Write it, attach anything needed, and set what a response must contain.
- 04Choose recipients from the students you teach.
- 05Publish, or leave it as a draft.
Oversight and handover
Every task carries a staff thread that students never see, which is where to leave context for whoever picks the work up next. Together with the organization-wide task view, this means a tutor's absence does not strand their students' homework — an admin can see what was set, what came back, and what still needs marking.
Common questions
- Can an admin review work a tutor set?
- Owners and admins can see the organization's tasks and the submissions against them, so cover during an absence is possible.
- Do students know a staff thread exists?
- No. Staff threads are invisible to students entirely.
- Can a task go to students of different tutors?
- Recipients come from the students you teach, so a task spans several tutors' students only if you teach them all.
