How do I set a recommended task from a MESHA learning gap?

To set a recommended task, open the Learning gaps tab of your MESHA report, pick a flagged question and click Use recommended task, then click Send to students. Edrolo builds the task for you, targeting the exact misconception and the students who need it, so it only takes a couple of minutes.

Find a learning gap

1. Open your MESHA assessment and click View report.
2. In the Filter by menu at the top right, choose the class you want to set the task for.
3. Click the Learning gaps tab. Questions with a learning gap show a Learning gap label in the list on the left.
4. Click a question to open it. If Edrolo has created a task, you'll see "A learning gap affecting [number] students has been identified" at the top.

You can also jump straight to a learning gap from the Opportunities section of the Overview tab. Click a button such as Open A2.a in the learning gap report.

Preview the task first

1. Scroll down to Response distribution to see which wrong answer most students chose, and the misconception behind it.
2. Click Preview recommendation to see the questions in the task before you use it.

Set the task

1. Click Use recommended task. A draft task opens, named "Suggested follow-up" plus the misconception.
2. Check the questions. Each one shows its type, marks and difficulty (Mild, Medium or Spicy).
3. Make any changes you need:
   • To remove a question, click the bin icon on its row.
   • To reorder questions, drag the handle on the left of each row.
4. Click Set a start date and Set a due date to schedule the task.
5. Click Send to students.

If you want to change which students get the task

The task is automatically set for the students who chose the wrong answer linked to the learning gap. You can add or remove students before you send it.

1. At the top of the draft task, click the student count (for example, 21 students).
2. Tick or untick students. Use Unselect all to start from scratch.
3. Click Save selection, then click Send to students.

⚠️ Note: The task stays as a draft, and students won't see it, until you click Send to students.

If you want a colleague to use the task too

1. On the draft task, click Share with teachers.
2. Choose the teachers you want to share it with.
