Assessments give students a low-stakes way to test what they know and identify where they need more practice. Every question includes a marking guide and example answer, helping students reflect on their response while the learning is still fresh. As a teacher you will also see live progress, where your class is confident, where gaps remain and what may need revisiting in your teaching.
Here’s a quick tour of what you can do:
Find the right assessment by subject
Open the Assessments page to see the subjects you teach, then select a subject to view every assessment available for it. Each one shows its length and how many students have submitted, so you can move straight to the one you need.
Open or close access for each class
You decide when an assessment is available to students. Open or close it for a single class, or use Open all and Close all to update every class at once. When an assessment is closed, students can still see it but can't start it.
Preview before students start
Open Preview section to move through the assessment exactly as your students will, using the numbered sidebar to jump between questions. It's a quick way to check the content and question order with confidence.
Monitor progress live
Once a class is working on an assessment, Monitor progress shows completion, the median time spent, and the average class score. Switch between classes, anonymise student names, and export results when you need them.
See where the class struggled
The results grid shows every student against every question, showing what they got right, what they got wrong, and what they left unanswered, alongside class averages.
Mark responses with the sample answer on screen
For short-answer and worked responses, you mark student by student with the sample answer, video solution and marking rubric right beside their work. Accept a student's self-mark, adjust it, or leave feedback, and marks save automatically. Multiple-choice questions are marked for you.
Students self-mark and reflect
After submitting, students are prompted to mark their own short-answer responses against the sample answer and rubric while the assessment is still fresh. They then see their score and a question-by-question breakdown. If you adjust a mark, your change replaces their self-mark and your feedback is highlighted for them.
