How do I create a MESHA assessment sitting?

To create a MESHA assessment sitting, go to the Assessments page in Edrolo, open your MESHA assessment, click Create sitting, then choose your class and set the date and time. Once the sitting is created, students and teachers can open the assessment automatically at the scheduled time. 

Video Walkthrough

For a full walkthrough of this process, please see the video below.

Step 1: Find your MESHA assessment

1. Sign in to Edrolo to open your Teacher Homepage.
2. Click Assessments in the left-hand menu.

Teacher home page in Edrolo. The Assessments section, accessible via the left-hand-side menu bar, is framed with a red outline.

3. Find your MESHA assessment in the list. Each assessment shows:
   • the assessment title
   • its status (Upcoming, Open or Closed)
   • the assessment window dates
   • the number of sittings already created.
4. Click View assessment next to the assessment you want to set up.

MESHA Assessments section of Assessments page within Edrolo. Scroll to the bottom of the page to find.

Step 2: Create the sitting

1. On the assessment page, click Create sitting.

Selected MESHA Assessment with no sittings created. The ‘Create sitting’ buttons are framed with a red outline.

2. Select the class or classes sitting the assessment.
   1. To set the sitting for only some students, tick Set for specific students within a class, then choose the students.
3. Set the start date and time.
4. Check the end date and time. It's set to 60 minutes after the start by default, but you can change it.
5. Click Create sitting to confirm.

Pop-up from pressing the ‘Add Sitting’ button.

Your new sitting now appears under Assessment sittings on the assessment page.

If you're setting up several classes

You can add more than one class to the same sitting if they're sitting the assessment at the same time. If classes are sitting at different times, create a separate sitting for each time slot.

Note: Sitting times must fall inside the assessment window shown on the Assessments page. Each student can only be in one sitting, so if a student is already assigned elsewhere, you'll need to remove them from that sitting first.

If a student is missing from the class list

The student may not be enrolled in that class in Edrolo yet. Add them through Admin Hub by following How to add or remove students from a class, then return to the sitting.
