See Introduction to Bridge Task (\ref{BridgeTask_Intro}) for a more in-depth explanation to Bridge Tasks. The main features of a bridge task (\ref{BridgeTask_Features}) section gives the differences between BTs and other assessments.

The section on Bridge Task Creation (\ref{BridgeTask_Create}) describes how to author as well as set up these Bridge Tasks.

                      7: Once the bridge task is created and published, the course coordinator must insert the resource in the course's document list (See Setting Up a Bridge Task \ref{BridgeTask_SetupResource}). The course coordinator may also create slots to limit the place/time the bridge task may be opened (See Using Slots in Bridge Task \ref{BridgeTask_Slot}). This resource may also be placed inside conditionals resources so that it is accessible only after a particular condition has been met (see Bridge Task and Conditional Resources \ref{BridgeTask_Conditions}).
