• Task 1: Meet with your teammembers
  

Plan meetings with your team in the weeks before the game week, to make preparations and plans for who is going to do what before this game week and during week 7. In this game week (week 7) all team members must be available all of the time. It is going to be busy but a very interesting week!

• Task 2: Study E-manual

Do not change the password or anything else in this section
- Help on this: Help:Guided tour through the platform | Help:Help on first login | Help:How to find information and help

Study the E-manual: here you will find what you need to read before taking any action. Look around a bit in this platform, so that you get a grip on what to find here and how it works. If you want more visualization, you can check the video help first section to get an impression on how to use the platform, especially the page the Guided tour through the platform.

All teammembers can login using the same username: multiple users at the same time with the same login name is no problem. To just read the content of this platform you don't need to login at all, by the way (only if you want to edit). There is much information on how to do things in Help:contents or on the special pages in Category:Hotel info. You can search with the buttons top-righthand corner: with GO for a special page on the searched for item, or with button Search which will show all pages where this search item is mentioned. No answer found? Ask your coach or use the Shoutbox which is monitored by the coaches.

• Task 4: Prepare Trade Fair
  

In the game week, your hotel will be presenting itself at a Trade Fair on Tuesday. So, before this week think this over and prepare for the Trade Fair: check this page for more information.
