The Tasklist Block is perfect for verifying that the learner has completed certain steps of a project, or tasks that take place outside of the course. For example...

  • Check off steps required for a project before submitting the final file.

  • Check off exercises done offline.

  • Check off required reading.

  • Check off hours of practice or volunteering.

How to add a tasklist

  1. Create a new step on your course Path and open the step.

  2. Select "Task" then "Tasklist." You've added a Block to your step!

  3. Replace the template tasklist title and description with your own. Add all required items to your tasklist.

  4. Optionally add more Blocks. When finished, hit Publish.

👉Note: All items in a Tasklist Block series are required. To create a checklist with items that are optional, use a Multiple Response Question Block instead and don't select any "correct" answers.

FAQs

Q. How do I adjust points and grading notifications?

A. Open the step settings to adjust these settings and more for the step.

Q. How do I turn off the option to reset and retake the assessment?

A. By default, learners can reset and retake any step any number of times. To limit learners to a single attempt on all the assessment questions on a step, open the step settings and disable retries.

Q. How do I add a checklist where learners are not required to mark off all items in order to complete the step?

A. For a survey-style checklist, we'd recommend using the Multiple Response Question Block instead.
