Overview of the Extempore Class Page

Learn about everything you can do from the main class page.

Written by Sam Slagle

On a given class page, you can do quite a few things, including editing class details, filtering the main assessment list, and even providing students with time accommodations.


Edit class details

To edit details within a class, navigate to the class you would like to edit in your instructor account, then click the pencil icon <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" height="18px" viewBox="48 -912 864 864" width="18px" fill="#26ace0"><path d="M216-144q-29.7 0-50.85-21.15Q144-186.3 144-216v-528q0-30.11 21-51.56Q186-817 216-816h346l-72 72H216v528h528v-274l72-72v346q0 29.7-21.15 50.85Q773.7-144 744-144H216Zm264-336Zm-96 96v-153l354-354q11-11 24-16t26.5-5q14.4 0 27.45 5 13.05 5 23.99 15.78L891-840q11 11 16 24t5 27q0 14-5.02 27.09Q901.96-748.83 891-738L537-384H384Zm456-405-51-51 51 51ZM456-456h51l231-231-25-26-26-25-231 231v51Zm257-257-26-25 26 25 25 26-25-26Z"/></svg> to open the class.

Within a class, you can...

  • Edit the class name by clicking the space next to it and entering the new name.

  • Edit the class image by clicking on the image and uploading your desired image.

  • Filter assessments by status to control what is displayed

  • After you have made changes, make sure to click Save in the bottom right corner to save your progress.


​Note: If your classes are synced with your LMS, your course names are inherited from that system. You can add a class nickname if desired by checking the box to Override class name and adding a Class Nickname.
​


Assessment filters

You can use the filter checkboxes at the top of your assessment list to control what displays on the class page. This is particularly helpful when you have many assessments in your class.

Assessments can be filtered by the following status:

  • Active: assessments with active time windows, where the current time falls between the start and end times.

  • Scheduled: assessments with start times scheduled to open in the future.

  • Past Due: assessments with end times in the past.

  • Draft: assessments which have been saved as drafts and do not have a current time window applied.

  • Incomplete: assessments missing questions or prompts and thus cannot be assigned yet.

To change the assessment time frame and thus the assessment status, open the assessment and edit the start and end times. For more, see this article.


View As Student

Beneath your assessments, you see a button that lets you preview an assessment as a student. Don't worry, your answers won't be saved.
​

Follow the steps below:

  • Click View as Student below your assignment list.

  • A new tab will open in the Student Portal where you can preview your assessment.

  • Toggle Time Limit Extension on and select how much additional time a student should receive. For time and a half, use 1.5x. For double time, use 2x. For all other instances, you can enter a custom extension multiplier. Click Save.

Note: Teachers who have synced with an LMS such as Google Classroom, Schoology, or Canvas should never need to reset or change a student's password, since those students access Extempore assessments directly through their LMS.
