Definition
Collaboration is a participation setting that allows multiple users to work together on a single activity—such as a Task, Quiz, Survey, or Checklist—by sharing access, progress, and results. When enabled in the Specifications block, all members of the assigned group can contribute responses, mark items, or complete steps collaboratively, and the final submission or completion status is recorded for the group as a whole.
In LearnCove:
For a Task – Group members can submit shared files, notes, or outputs.
For a Quiz – Group members can jointly answer questions, with a single graded submission.
For a Survey – Group members can collectively provide responses, counted as one entry.
For a Checklist – Group members can check off items together, with shared completion tracking.
This option is useful for team projects, group evaluations, and collaborative learning activities where the output is intended to represent the work of the entire group rather than individual users.
Preparation:
The Collaboration option is available by default for the following activity types: Task, Quiz, Survey, and Checklist.
Steps to enable Collaborator for an activity:
Open the activity and go to the General tab.
Scroll to the Specifications block.
Switch on the toggle for the Collaboration option.
Result:
Once Collaboration is enabled, the user will see a Collaborators card on the activity page. Using this card, they can add any member of the course to the activity and work together on it. The results will be identical for all collaborators. For creators and administrators, the results page will display the user who submitted the activity on behalf of the group.
