¶ Interactive Assignment
In the interactive assignment, students can submit their assignments for automatic grading, and the scores will be sent directly to the teacher's grade book.
To Create an Interactive Assignment, you follow the same method as creating an assignment.
- Click on Create Assignment from the preferred Teacher Group
- Click on the checkbox of the Create Interactive Assignment
Now it will display all Interactive assignment elements which you need to fill. You will notice in the Interactive assignment you are only allowed to select one teacher group, but do not worry about this. As in the interactive assignment, once all questions are created, you can copy them to other Teacher Groups within the same grade level.
¶ You will need to fill any input labelled by bold text, such as
- Assignment Topic, This is needed in the Questions bank for easier search and filtration by you or other teachers who have access in the same subject and grade level.
- Keywords, Filling in keywords will make it easier for you to search for your created questions in the Questions Bank.
- Submission Date From & To, this is where you select the date and time in which you want the Interactive assignment to be displayed to your students.
- Timed Assignment, This option is used if you would like the interactive assignment to be completed within a limited time within the submission dates. For example, if you have set a 30-minute Timed Assignment but the date from and to is set for three days, once the student opens the Interactive Assignment, it will start the 30-minute countdown that you set in the Timed Assignment. To disable this option, leave it blank.
- Maximum number of retaking this assignment, This option can allow the students to submit an assignment more than once; if you set it to 1 or more, an additional retry submission will be added to the original assignment submission, and to disable it leave it blank.
