All Quizzes(tests, exams, any items which can be graded) are called Assessments in Angel.
To create an assessment:
-
Log into your ANGEL course and click the Lessons tab.
-
Click the Add Content hyperlink.
-
Click the Assessment hyperlink. The new assessment editor appears.
On the Content tab:
1. Enter a Title for your link.
2. Enter a Subtitle for your link. The subtitle is used to provide additional information concerning the content item.
On the Access tab:
1. Select User Tracking. This is an optional setting and is used to track when users view or access a content item.
2. If users are not allowed to view the content item, select the Do not allow users to view this item checkbox.
3. Select the Viewable By option. By default Students is selected.
4. Enter a Password. This is an optional setting and is used to restrict access to a content item.
On the Interaction tab:
The Interaction tab is a unique tab for assessments. This tab allows the instructor the ability to select how the questions are displayed to the student – all at once, as part of a question set or one question at a time.
1. Select the delivery setting Date enabled and/or Date disabled. Date enable means the Date the item can be viewed by students. Date Disabled will hide the item from view. This is different from the Review Dates
2. Select the Display Mode. The default setting is All at once.
3. Select the Question Set Defaults. This is an optional setting.
4. Select the Submission Settings which determine how many attempts a user has to take the assessment; the mastery settings required before the student has mastered the concepts within the assessment; save options and anonymous options.
5. Select the Time Settings determining how long the student has to complete the assessment and if the assessment will have a time warning or automatically submit when the time expires.
On the Review tab:
1. Select the View submission history option. The default value is Full review.
2. Select the Review Availability. This determines when the review is available to view and how long this review remains available to the students.
3. Select the Display feedback option. The Display feedback is set to Assessment Completion by default
4. Select the Feedback options. All options are selected by default. Clearing the checkboxes removes the item from review.
On the Assignment tab:
1. Select the Assignment in the Gradebook Settings. This is an optional selection.
2. Select the Task Type for the Milestone Settings. This is an optional selection. Click the Save button when all desired items are complete.
3. Select the show advanced settings checkbox to display all of the editor options.
Several of the common access settings can be very useful when used on an assessment. In particular:
Select the Do not allow users to view this item to hide a quiz which is a “work-inprogress”. This setting is also useful for assessments that are being used as “question banks” or for future assessments that should not yet be made available to students.
The Password field supports proctored testing through the process of 1) password protecting an assessment or test and 2) providing the password to each designated proctor. The student would be required to schedule and meet with the proctor to take the test. At test time, the proctor would provide the password and observe the student during the test to ensure testing rules are followed (e.g. time limit, use of notes, etc.).
The Date enabled and Date disabled settings are useful for limiting the “window of time” that an assessment is available. In combination with the “Time Limit” and “Auto-submit” options available on the Interaction tab, this approach is very useful for take-home assessments, to decrease the amount of time available for unwanted student collaboration or sharing of printed copies of the assessment.
