Assignment (task) activity type

The following fields are available to you in this activity:

• Completion mode*
• Instructions
• Evidence required
• Minimum No. Of Evidence
• Complete By *
• Planned Hours
• Activity Owner
• Documents
• Create a Task

Completion mode

This field allows you to determine how the activity status is updated. You can choose from two options:

• If set to "All Evidence Accepted," completing the task is mandatory for the component to be marked as complete.
• If set to "Tutor Decides," the Tutor/Admin has the option to complete the component even without the task. However, if the Evidence Required option is enabled, they can't manually complete the component until the 'minimum no. of evidence' condition is satisfied, and the evidence is marked against the mapped criteria. Note that if the Submitted Evidence has not been mapped to all criteria, the ‘Complete Component’ button will not be visible.

Instructions

Instructions that the leaner will see when looking at the Learning Plan activity.

Evidence Required

Tick the “Evidence required” box if the activity requires evidence to be provided and marked in order for this activity to be completed. Defaults to 1 (checked).

Minimum No. Of Evidence

This field sets the minimum number of pieces of evidence required from the learner. The activity will not be set as complete until this minimum number is reached. This field is dependent on the Evidence Required field being selected.

Complete By*

You can specify the time before which they expect the activity to be completed by the learner. Specifying this field will place the activity in the correct chronological order on the learning plan.

You can choose to specify the complete by time by month, week, day or date. You can also select the No Set date option.

If you choose a date, the activity must be completed before that date.

If you specify a month, the activity must be completed within those many months from the start date of the program. For example, if you enter 1, the activity must be completed within 1 month from the start of the program. 

If you specify a week, the activity must be completed within those many weeks from the start date of the program. For example, if you enter 1, the activity must be completed within 1 week from the start of the program. 

If you specify a day, the activity must be completed within those many days from the start date of the program. For example, if you enter 10, the activity must be completed within 10 days from the start of the program. 

Planned Hours

This field shows the number of planned OTJ Hours that this activity is planned to take for the learner to complete. These hours are also displayed on the Commitment Statement at the start of the programme.

If OJT Hours do not apply to this activity, this field should be left as 0.

Activity Owner

Select the name of the person responsible for the completion of the delivery of this activity. Defaults to the primary tutor.

Documents

These are any attachments that the learner needs to be given access to as part of the activity.

Create a Task

Tick this box if you want to create a diary entry. 

If you tick this box, you are presented with additional fields where you must specify the task details.

Note that you must create a task and mark it as complete to close the Assignment(task) activity type.

Where you are creating a Task, note the following: For the activity to be marked as complete, the Task has to be marked as completed by the Learner or Tutor. For more information, see: Marking a task as complete.
