What is a Task?
Tasks are at the heart of learner interaction in Promote. Each task prompts learners to take action - whether it’s submitting a reflection, completing a quiz, or reporting to their coach. Task completion is what drives progress through a Promote program.
A Task is always connected to an Assignment or Session and represents the actual activity learners need to complete.
