Enable an assessment
Firstly, ensure you have clicked into the class you would like to enable the assessment for and click Manage Class Assessments.
Next, click the assessment you would like to enable. This will then load to your main screen.
Once the assessment has loaded, you can change the ranges for your students if you would like students to work at different levels. To choose the range, click the arrow next to the pre-set range.
If you would like all students to work at the same level, click Match All Students next to the desired range.
You will then need to set the assessment so that it is available within student accounts. Click on Manage Class Assessments and switch the toggle to SET.
Next, click Assessment Options and switch the Assessment toggle to IS ON.
Enable an assessment for an individual student
To enable an assessment for an individual student, switch the toggle on for those who you would like to sit the assessment and have it switched off for those you don't.
Enable multiple assessments for an individual student
Click on the student from within the class and click Manage Student Assessments.
You can then enable the assessments by switching the toggle to SET.
Assessment Options
The Assessment Options drop-down allows you to set different conditions for the assessment. To turn them on, switch the toggle to IS ON.
Student Review
The Student Review function allows students to view their assessment post-submission. Choose either the Level, Percent or None option for how your student views their results.
Assessment
The Assessment function allows you to switch the assessment to viewable or hidden.
Reflection
The Reflection function allows students to self-reflect on their assessment performance. This provides you with insight into your students' learning disposition during the assessment.
Dynamic
The Dynamic function will allow the range for your students to automatically shift depending on your student's ability.
Sketch Pad
The Sketch Pad function allows students to use a sketch pad during their assessment so they are able to write down their working for each question.
I Don't Know Yet
The I Don't Know Yet function allows students to choose this option instead of providing an answer they are not confident in answering. This option provides more accurate data, as guessing within the assessment will skew the result.
Fixed Question Order
The Fixed Question Order function enables you to assess your students against the same questions as they appear in Teacher-Led Support Mode.
Learning Goals
The Learning Goals function allows students to download a PDF of their Learning Goals.
INLP/ILLP Download
The INLP/ILLP Download function allows students to download a PDF of their INLP/ILLP without answers.
Weekend Snooze
The Weekend Snooze function locks assessments and learning apps during the weekend, so students are unable to access them.
