Tasks can help to keep course events distinct from your personal tasks.  Use Tasks to break up a big assignment into sub-tasks to stay on top of all your due dates. Tasks is located on the right side of your D2L course or home page in the Calendar area.

Create Tasks

1. On the D2L homepage or the start page of your course, find Tasks on the right side of the page below the Calendar. Click once on [Add a task] and type in a short task name. When you press enter or click the mouse outside the Tasks box the task is saved automatically and displays with a checkbox and drop-down arrow.
   
   
   
   
2. Click the checkbox to mark the task as completed or use the arrow to add notes, a due date or delete the task.
   
   
   
   
3. Use the [View Completed Tasks] link to review or delete tasks that have been completed.
