The Tasks page organizes projects (referred to as Tasks), defines task priority, and tracks task status. Instructors and organization leaders can post tasks to users participating in their course or organization.
From the Tools Box users can view all of their tasks, including those from the courses and organizations they are participating in, tasks posted by the System Administrator and their personal tasks. Users can create their own tasks and post them to the Tasks page. When Tasks is accessed through the Course menu users view Tasks for that specific course or organization.
