Teachers can digitally create student quizzes using SCL's Interactive Assignment.
This tutorial will focus on creating questions and preparing them for autocorrection, along with other helpful tools.
To create one or more questions
- Click on Manage Interactive Assignment of the Created Assignment.
- From the bottom of the page, Select your Question Type. To create multiple questions at once, change the quantity number, Then click "Create Question".
- It would be best to fill in the following mandatory fields for each question you create.
- Questions Points
- Question
- Answers in case of MCQ, MRQ, True and False or Fill the Blank Questions.
- Correct Answers are required if you have selected the assignment as Autocorrect.
- You can upload audio or PDF assets for any created Text questions, which will be displayed to students when they attempt the question.
- Once you have finished creating a question, click the question number to preview how it will be displayed to your students.
When creating Fill the Blank Questions, the answer's similarity percentage is displayed, which can be adjusted to allow for typographical errors. SCL automatically ignores case sensitivity and whitespace issues in the student's answer.
If you want to display the Fill the Blank in the middle of a phrase, you can add six or more underscores in the question body of the Fill the Blank question.
SCL offers built-in MathType & Chemtype tools for Math, Chemistry, and Physics teachers in the Question Toolbar. These tools allow teachers to create formulas using free handwriting or selecting symbols.
In Question Management, you can manage the following
- Add additional answers for the selected question.
- You can add or delete the selected question from the question bank.
- Delete The Question
From the top page toolbar, you can enable or disable the following
- The "Shuffle Questions" feature will randomize the order of questions for each student.
- The "Shuffle Answers" feature will randomize the order of answers for each student.
- Enabling "Show Results" allows students to view correct and incorrect answers after the assignment's end date. However, suppose a student has submitted the assignment before the end date. In that case, they can only view their assignment grade immediately after submission and must wait until the end date to see the correct answers.
- Enabling the "Autocorrect" option will allow you to automatically grade the assignment and save the scores to your grade book. However, you must disable this option for text or file-based questions.
You can change the layout of how questions are displayed in the Interactive Assignment. You can display them one question at a time with pagination, show all questions on the same page, or enable pagination only when you have created more than 50 questions to avoid device performance issues and change the settings.
- Click on your Profile from the top right, then click on Preferences
- You can adjust the setting "Show all Interactive Assignment Questions if it is greater or equal to either display questions one by one or all at once. If you set it to 50 or more questions, SCL will use pagination to prevent performance issues.
You can modify the details of the previously created assignment, such as submission dates and other settings, or delete the assignment in the Assignment Details section.
To exclude or include students in the created assignment, click "Manage Assignment" and then go to "Student Scores" to select the desired students.
Once you have completed creating your assignment, it is necessary to publish it to be visible to your students within the Interactive Assignment's submission dates.
If you make any changes to the questions after publishing the assignment, you must republish the assignment for the changes to take effect.
