From quick checks for understanding to common summative assessments and everything in between, it's easy to create an Extempore assessment to meet the needs of your students.

How to Create an Individual Assessment

From your class page, click the plus button ➕ to create an assessment, where you'll be taken to the page below.

From here, you can create the framework of your assessment:

  • Give your assessment a name.

  • Set a timeline when the assessment is available to students.

  • Select individual assessment

  • Add an optional description

  • Customize parameters:

  • Choose which students will be assigned the assessment.

Click Next to save and continue.

Adding Questions

With your assessment framework now in place, you're now ready to add questions.

  • Add a question title

  • Decide how students will respond to the prompt: video, audio, text, multiple choice, simulated conversation, or screen recording.

  • Add question text. This could be...

    • a short passage with a question at the end.

    • a message for students to respond to.

    • directions for responding to a media prompt.

  • Decide if you want to add media to your prompt. For example...

    • upload an image, audio, or video from your computer.

    • create and attach a video or audio of yourself.

    • attach your favorite authentic resource from YouTube.

  • Select a rubric to provide a numeric grade or No Rubric - Mark Complete.

To preview what your students will see for each question, return to your class page and click the View as Student button.
