These features and improvements are now live!


District Admins can “Login As” Teachers
If a teacher leaves a district assessment active and doesn’t click “End Session,” district admins used to have to jump through hoops to get their data. Now, district admins can “Login As” that teacher the way campus admins can, and end the session. They can get to this “Login As” feature in three places in their district admin account:

  • In the “Unfinished Assessments” section of the distribution management page
  • In the “Distributed To” list on the distribution management page
  • Under their new “Teachers & Admins” tab

District Admin Item Banks Tab
District admins now have their own district Item Banks tab. They’ll be able to see item banks the district has created, that have been designated for district use only, AND see all the banks assigned to schools within their district.

 

Students Can Review Missed PDF Questions
If a teacher has chosen the setting allowing students to review question slides after completing an assessment, this didn’t work for PDF tests. Now it does!

Additionally, teachers will be able to see the PDF assessment by going to Actions->Slideshow in their Lessons/Assessments tab. Special thanks to Atlanta Public Schools and others who requested this feature!
