For this, use the Tasks tool.

Note: the Tasks tool is an expert tool mainly used by subject teachers and instructors with chess knowledge, who sometimes want to deviate from the normal learning path. Normally, as a teacher, you don't need to assign tasks yourself, because Chessto does that. He monitors which lesson(s) a child still needs to complete to earn a new sticker on the way to the next exam. Once a week, Chessto distributes these lessons as a 'special mission' (task). Chessto's tasks are personalized and student-specific: the student receives exactly the tasks they need for their progress. (See also: How does Chessto guide students before and after an exam?).

The Tasks tool has a workflow in three steps. When you open the tool, you always see which tasks you have assigned to your students. If you are using the tool for the first time, there are of course no assigned tasks yet. Then you start with step 2: Select tasks.

The first thing you see are all the lesson levels available in Chessity:

By clicking on a level, you open an overview with all the lessons and games of that level. Then you can select the lesson(s) you want the student(s) to practice. Indicate how many times the lesson should be done (between 1 and 5 times):

In this example, only lessons from the Pawn level are chosen, but it is also possible to select lessons from multiple levels.

After selecting the lessons, click on Select students (step 3).

A list of all your students is now displayed. Select the students who should complete the chosen lessons. In the dropdown menu under Groups, you will find all the groups you have created in the dashboard. You can check individual students or multiple students at once.
