Tasks may have several statuses:
- Completed (a task is completed by learner)
- In Progress (learner is in process of task fulfillment)
- Not Started (learner has not started performing a task)
- Waiting (teacher is in process of task grading; learner is waiting for task to be assessed)
Fig. Statuses
Status change occurs if user modifies assignments. There is a certain set of actions which users with different roles can perform for each Assignment item. See the table below:
|
User |
Action |

|
Teacher |

|

For example, the current task status is Not started. Teacher modifies the task by selecting the Approve action. For more information about actions, see the Grading assignments paragraph (step 5 and 6). As a result, the task will have a new status – Completed.

NOTE: |
If Teacher saves a task currently having the Not Started status as a draft, the task will still have the Not Started status in the Learner’s view. In this case Learner cannot edit the task. |
