Setup

Creating a Team Exercise

When creating an exercise, you first need to select the mode Team. This is only available during the creation of the exercise, as it cannot be changed later on. The team size can also be configured, but it is just a recommendation that can be overridden when creating the actual teams.

Important: The team mode can only be set during exercise creation and cannot be changed afterward.

Editing and Deleting Teams

Instructors can also and already existing teams.

Exporting Teams

To facilitate the process of creating teams, instructors can use the button to export the teams in an exercise to a file, which can then be imported in other exercises.

ℹ️

Exporting teams is useful when you want to reuse the same team structure across multiple exercises in a course.

Importing Teams

To import teams into an exercise, instructors can use the button. This allows them to choose between importing from a file, or importing directly from another exercise in the course. In both cases, you must choose if you want to delete all the existing teams, or only create new teams, as shown below:

Collaboration

When working on a team exercise, students can work collaboratively using the live editors. This is available for Modeling exercises and Textual exercises.

The live editors show the status of all the team members, and allow students to simultaneously edit the same exercise:

Team Overview

The same team can be shared for multiple exercises. Viewing the page for a single team allows students, tutors and instructors to get an overview of all the exercises for that team along with their current status. To access the team overview page, users can click on or on the team's short name.
