How to create tasks on Redmenta?

Create exciting tasks on Redmenta! In this short summary you'll learn how to proceed when editing an exercise on the site!

To edit tasks, first create a worksheet! You can read more about creating a worksheet here.

In the Edit menu of the worksheet, scroll down to the bottom of the page to find the worksheet elements toolbar. From here you can choose from a variety of task types, content structuring and storytelling elements. The tasks can be newly edited, your own existing tasks, or public tasks.

For the newly edited tasks, make sure you fill in all the required fields! Formatting of different types of tasks may differ in some cases, but instructions are mandatory for all of them. In addition, it is possible to attach a picture, video or audio file to each task and to add an explanation for the answer.

It is also compulsory to provide answer options and a solution key if you are editing a closed-ended task. It is important that you can only save if all mandatory fields are filled in. If there are fields you do not need, always delete them, otherwise the system will not allow you to save. Once you have finished and saved the task, don't forget to enter the score of the task as a last step!

When you have finished editing the task, save it! Without saving, the edited task will not be included in the worksheet and you will not be able to move on to the next task. If you do not want to save, click Cancel.

If you are having difficulty editing a task type, there is a tooltip at the top left of the editor, which you can hover over to get a short description of how to edit that task. If you also click on it, a longer description opens.

If you want to add an existing task to the worksheet, you will find the task browser under the toolbar. In the search box, enter the keywords of the task you are looking for, and decide whether you want to select from your own or public tasks (your own tasks will also appear among the public tasks, but only you can see them).

It's important to always label your tasks to make searching quick and easy. More information on how to label tasks is here.
