# Create a plan

In your personal area, you can create plans for yourself and set up templates for assignment plans.

Your personal plans can be todo lists for any sort of activities you would like to track.

Your template plans help you set up assignment plans for learners that you can use in groups as starting point.

Template plans typically contain explicit tasks for learners to complete. You can associate a template portfolio with each task making it easy for learners to copy these into their personal portfolio areas.

When you set up a group plan, you can decide whether to use one of your template plans as starting point or whether to set up a plan from scratch. You can set up assignment plans directly in a group as well.
