Projects

In ASSESSMENT > Projects teachers and non-editing teachers can create projects for students. A project can be an end-of-degree project, a master's degree project, an end-of-course project, a thesis, etc.

The members of a project can be:

• students
• tutors
• evaluators

In the upper left corner a Show all data in a table icon is displayed, which allows you to see a detailed list of projects ready to print or copy-paste to another program (for example, a spreadsheet).

The Show statistic icon in the upper left corner will take you to the statistics of the number of projects on the platform or in the desired scope.

It is possible to filter the list of projects based on the following criteria:

• Users members of the projects:
  • Identified user: Only the projects for which you are a tutor, student or evaluator (icon with your photograph).
  • Selected users from a list: Projects in which the users you choose from a list intervene as tutors, students or evaluators (Search icon represented by a magnifying glass).
  • All projects (icon representing multiple users).
• Assigned projects / Unassigned projects.
• Hidden projects (not visible to students) / Visible projects
• Defective projects (a yellow triangle will appear in the sections with problems) / Correct projects
• Not reviewed projects / Correction-pending projects / Approved projects
• Projects associated to any department / Projects associated to a specific department selectable from all those of the current institution

New project

To create a new project, you must click on the New project icon (plus sign) at the top left of the box or the button New project. A form appears with the following fields:

• Title. A title for the project.
• Department. You can indicate a department where the project will be carried out.
• Revision. The teachers of the course can change the review status of each project and add comments. After editing the status or comments, you must press the Save changes button. The date and time of the review will appear next to the status. The three review statuses a project can be in are:
  • Unreviewed (default when creating a project)
  • Pending correction
  • Approved
• Assigned?. Whether or not the project is assigned to one or more students.
• Number of students. The number of students for whom the project is intended. By default 1.
• Proposal. You have to choose between these three options:
  • New project: This is a new project (default option).
  • Project proposed in previous calls, with modifications: this project has already been proposed in some previous call, but some significant modification has been made in its content.
  • Project proposed in previous calls, without modifications: this project has already been proposed in some previous call, and no changes have been made in its content worthy of mention.
• Description. Description about the project.
• Required knowledge. Required knowledge to carry out the project.
• Required materials. Required materials to carry out the project.
• URL. Optional web with additional information about the project.

When you fill in the fields, you must press the button Create project. The new project will be added to the list and you will be able to edit it again and add or remove project members.

Edit project

To remove an existing project, click on the Remove icon (red cross). To effectively remove the project you will have to confirm the deletion by clicking on the Remove project button.

To edit an existing project, click on the Edit icon (pencil). A form identical to the one for creating a new project will appear. When the editing is finished, click on the Save button.

To view or edit the files in an existing project, click the project title or the Files icon (folder). Only the selected project will be displayed, with two file zones:

• Project documents. Visible and editable by any member of the project: tutors, students and evaluators. In this file area students could, for example, upload the memory and presentation of the project.
