Atomi Tasks are the easiest ways for teachers to plan, compose and deliver incredible learning experiences. Creating tasks is a great way to keep your class on track, issue homework for your students, or even run a blended learning program
At its core, creating a task is simply asking your students to complete work by a certain date. With the ability to create your own instructions, add any content or Atomi lessons, and see student insights it can be a powerful teaching tool.
There are a couple of simple ways to create tasks on Atomi. Straight from your Tasks page or by assigning one or many lessons from the module view of your class.
