About activities and progress data in Classwork
When you send activities to your students as part of an assignment, Classwork provides you with information on how your students are doing with the activities and assignments. Classwork always indicates when a student opens an assignment, when a student opens an activity within an assignment and when a student marks an activity as Done (taps Mark Done). If your school turns on the Student Progress feature in Apple School Manager, you can view additional information about the progress your students are making on the activities you send. You’ll be able to check how students are progressing on an app activity both individually and compared to the rest of the class.
For a list of apps that enable student progress, visit Apps with ClassKit. When purchasing apps in Apple School Manager, your school’s IT administrator should look for the Works with Classwork badge to find apps that enable student progress.
Classwork displays different information for the activities you assign to your students.
For all activities, Classwork indicates when a student opens an activity within an assignment.
For timed app activities, Classwork displays the data from the app when the student completes the activity. Classwork automatically marks the activity as Done when a student uses the app for the amount of time you specified. Classwork only reports progress for the time you specified, even if a student uses the app for a longer amount of time.
For an activity in a progress-reporting app, Classwork displays the data from the app as a student completes the activity in the app. Every activity that supports progress reporting displays time spent data in Classwork.
For document, link, timed app and exit ticket activities, Classwork automatically displays information (time spent, number of questions answered) as the student completes the activity.
For other activities (for example, a hand-in request), you only see whether or not a student marked the activity as Done.
Activity and progress information | Notes |
|---|---|
Open activity | For all activities, Classwork displays when a student opens an activity. |
| For activities that report time spent, Classwork displays the amount of time a student spends working on a Classwork activity and the average time for all students with data across all their attempts. |
| For activities that report a progress percentage, Classwork displays the progress each student made and the average progress for all students with data across all their attempts. |
| For activities that report a score, Classwork displays the score for each student and the average score for all students with data based on their most recent attempt. Classwork computes scores as the percentage of the points earned out of the total points possible. |
| For activities that report a total count, Classwork displays the count each student earned and the average count earned by all students with data, based on their most recent attempt. Activities can send count categories such as hints used, star points, badges earned, questions answered or pages read. |
| For activities that report binary information (information with only two values), Classwork indicates if students successfully completed the activity based on their most recent attempt. Activities can send binary categories such as Yes/No, True/False, Pass/Not Yet or Correct/Incorrect. |
Completion status | For all activities, Classwork displays the name of each student who marked the activity as Done (taps Mark Done). For activities that don’t report progress data, no additional data is reported. |
