About Classwork assessments
Assessments provide a way for teachers to measure students’ understanding of a concept, topic or lesson. Assessments can consist of:
An assessment title
a list of recipients (an entire class or one or more students in a class)
a deadline
a delivery date
An assessment file
Instructions (text)
More options (time limit, assessment mode)
Using Schoolwork, you can convert existing documents into interactive Schoolwork assessments. After you send the assessment, students must complete it in Schoolwork using only the available Markup tools to draw, write, and add stickers (open book assessments only), text, and shapes. As students turn in their work, use Schoolwork to review and analyse results. Analysing results can help you assess understanding, determine future instruction, and evaluate which students might need a little extra help.
With assessment mode, depending on the level of focus required by your students, you can specify an assessment as open book or closed book.
An open book assessment creates a more open test environment; allowing students to use other resources and apps outside of Classwork while they work on their assessment.
A closed book assessment creates a more secure test environment; preventing students from using other resources or leaving the assessment until they turn in their work. A closed book assessment locks student iPads into Classwork. iPads are unlocked when students turn in their work, or after eight hours.
You can send an assessment to your entire class or to one or more students based on their specific needs. Schoolwork does not support sending an assessment to multiple classes. To assign the same document to more than one class, copy the assessment, then send the new assessment to another class. You can schedule an assessment to send at a later time, or save an assessment as a draft until you are ready to send at a later time.
