This article explains how Team tasks work and how to set them up in the Builder. A Team task allows learners to collaborate privately in small groups and submit a shared conclusion to complete the task together.

How does a team task work
Team tasks allow learners to work together in a dedicated space tied to a specific assignment. Within each team, members can discuss the task in a private thread, share files, and decide together on a conclusion to submit.
Once a conclusion is posted, all team members automatically get completion for the task. The conclusion becomes visible to others in the program, helping to create a sense of shared progress and learning.
Teams are created and managed by admins and can either mirror your program groups or be tailored for each task.

Private discussion within the task
- Similar look and feel as for facilitator and coach approves
- Available to the team members and facilitators
- Not available to coaches
- Can continue even after the task is completed
- Any posts within the private discussion will generate notifications to members of the team (not to the facilitator)
- Posts BY the facilitator will generate notifications to team members
- Allow sharing of files within the team
- Like any other private discussion, Team Task does not support mentions
- A conclusion is public and can be seen by other learners and facilitators
- Any member of the team can post a conclusion
- All members of the team will get a completion when the conclusion is posted
- The conclusion can be edited after posting if needed
- The conclusion is visible in the feed on the start page
- A coach can only see a conclusion posted by a team in which they are coaching a learner
- Each team task needs to have teams assigned separately
- Teams do not have to be the same for each team task
- There’s a quick button to use existing program groups for team tasks
- It is possible to move learners between teams even if the task has been started or completed
How to set up a team task
Step 1: Create the Task
Start by creating a task with the completion type 'Team'.
Step 2: Open the Teams Tab
Once the task is created, go to the Teams tab to set up the groups.
You’ll have several options for creating teams:
- Create task team - manually create new teams specifically for the task.
- Create teams based on program groups - use existing program groups.
- Create random teams - Randomly assign learners to different teams. Any leftover learners will be placed in a separate team.
You can adjust the team setup by clicking Edit to move learners or change team sizes.
Rename Teams
By default, teams are given generic names. You can personalise these by editing them under the Teams tab within the task. You can also add or remove team members (as long as the task isn’t completed).
Replicate Teams to Other Tasks
If your program includes multiple Team tasks, you only need to create teams once. Use the Replicate function to copy teams to other Team tasks in the same program.
Hide others' conclusions
Select this option to hide what other learners' already posted in the Team tasks until the task is completed. With this option enabled, a team must first complete the task before getting access to anyone else's solution.
