The HomeWork section allows a user to set home tasks within the course, as well as to view the results of performing home tasks.
All set home tasks on the HomeWork page are presented as a list. Every task is described by a title, starting date, ending date and a detailed description. To provide better view representation, a user may use a filter: it is possible to specify the number of entries to be presented in the list in the Display# field.

Viewing Statistics
A home task is assigned to all Students who participate in the course. The HomeWork section gives the Teacher of the course a possibility to view the statistics of tasks performing. The Teacher can see whether tasks have been completed by Students or not, and the date of their completing.
To view the homework statistics, click the title of a corresponding task in the HomeWork section. As a result, the information page for the task will be displayed:
Fig. ‘Viewing Homework Statistics’
The statistics for a task represents a list of Students taking part in the course. Next to every Student stands a group to which he/she belongs, and the state of the task:
-
As soon as a Student has confirmed that he/she has completed a task, the
Completed (

) icon is displayed next to his/her name.
-
If the task has not been completed, it will be marked by the
Incomplete (

) icon.
The Teacher of the course him-/herself can mark the task as completed/incomplete by clicking the icon next to a corresponding user.
The Teacher of the course can also send an e-mail to any Student by clicking its name on the HomeWork statistics page.
