Creating collaborative activities

Collaborative activities are assignments where learners work together in small groups. For these activities, you need to divide the class into mini-groups, each working on the respective assignment. The collaborative activities feature is managed on either the Scheduling or Class splits tabs of the Courses menu.

Information	IMPORTANT: Learners must be enrolled in the course that includes collaborative activities beforehand. A term must be specified for the enrollment, otherwise it's impossible to create collaborative activities.

To create a collaborative activity for your group of learners:

1. In the LMS management portal, click in the upper-left corner.
2. Go to Teaching > Courses.

1. In the courses list, double-click the required course to start editing.
2. In the leftmost bar, click the Schedulin****g icon.

1. In the Collaborative column for the activity, select the Collaborative flag for the required activity.
