Create an Asynchronous Group Assessment

Students respond to a prompt and interact with one another asynchronously using this type of group assessment. Students can respond via audio or written text on their own schedule. No real-time meeting required.

Written by Sam Slagle

Step 1 - Create Group Assessment

Next, select how many students you want in each room. Add an assessment description if desired and click Next.


Step 2 - Add Task & Select Response Type

Add a task and Choose the Response Type. For asynchronous group assessments, only Audio and Text are available. Video, multiple choice, simulated conversation, and screen recording are not offered for this assessment type.

  • Audio — Students record audio replies in the group thread.

  • Text — Students type written replies in the group thread. Group members see typing indicators. Question limitations that do not apply to written responses are hidden when Text is selected.

When you are done, click Launch.


Step 4 - View Rooms/Groupings

After launching your assessment, students will be randomly assigned to a group. Click View Rooms to see the groupings and edit the groups.


Step 5 - Manage Rooms

You can move students from one room to another with drag and drop.

Step 6 - Review/Grade

After students have submitted, navigate to the gradebook to view submissions, grade, and provide feedback.


Notes

  1. Once students begin submitting, rooms, parameters, and the prompt cannot be changed.

  2. Only one question/task is allowed per asynchronous group assessment.

  3. Students respond independently on their own schedule and interact in the group thread.

  4. Audio response type: If you choose unlimited attempts, the student can submit without listening to prior submissions. If you choose a single attempt, the student must listen to previous submissions in the group thread before making a new submission.

  5. Make sure your students have the most up-to-date version of their mobile apps to participate.
