How to Manage an Assessment
Adaptive Release is for limiting who can see the assessment or when someone can see the assessment. To set up an Adaptive Release rule:
- Enter the page where the assessment has been placed and click the gray chevron next to the name of the assessment you want to create an Adaptive Release rule for. Then click Adaptive Release on the resulting contextual menu.
- Choose the criteria you would like to use to control the Adaptive Release including Date, User, Grade Center Data, and Review Status. Once again, please refer to the Adaptive Release Pages for more information on any of these criteria.
- To add new rules or edit former rules, use the Adaptive Release: Advanced button from the contextual drop down menu by the name of the assessment.
- From the Adaptive Release: Advanced page you can choose to create a new rule.
- When you have added a new rule, use the buttons in the menu bar to Create Criteria or change the Review Status.
Please Note: If a student meets all the criteria of one of the rules they will have access to the assessment.
- Click the Review Status tool from the Context Menu to provide users the ability to mark the assessment as reviewed.
- Then choose to Enable or Disable, and click Submit.
Metadata is information about a Content Item, including bibliographic and copyright information. To enter this sort of information:
- Click Metadata in the drop down menu of the assessment.
- Edit the appropriate data.
- Click Submit.
- Choose Statistic Tracking (On/Off) in the contextual menu.
- Turn the Tracking On or Off and click Submit.
- Choose View Statistics Report from the assessment's drop down menu.
- On the next page choose Run in the contextual menu for Content Usage Statistics.
- Enter the Specifications you would like the report on. Choose one individual user, select several by holding down control and clicking the users, or choose them all simply by leaving them all unselected.
- You will get a Please wait screen. This could take several minutes, depending on how large of a report you are running.
- When the report has been compiled, you can choose to Save to Content Collection, Download Report or Run a new Report.
- To track student's progress on an assessment, choose User Progress from the drop-down contextual menu.
- From this screen you can see who has Visibility, who has marked the assessment as Reviewed, and when.
