What is the difference between a Homework Task and a Formative Assessment?

For now, not much! These options just set some default settings for you during the creation process. You are free to edit these settings at any time. The default settings are as following

Select your course

This screen allows you to pick the course you would like to make the task or assessment for

Setup

This screen allows you to set some basic settings for your task or assessment

• Task Name: The name of the task or assessment
• Available From: The date from which the students can complete this assessment.
• Available To: The end date of the task or assessment. Students will no longer be able to complete the task or assessment after this date. Assessments can only be available for a maximum of 30 days.
• Show video solutions: Gives you control over when students will have access to the video solutions.
  • Never: The video solutions are never available
  • After Submission: Students can view video solutions only after they have submitted the assessment
  • Always: Students can view video solutions during the assessment and after submission
• Require student responses: Turning this on will allow students to complete the assessment or task within Revision Village and you'll be able to mark it and get insights from results.
• Auto mark assessment: Allow Newton AI to do an initial pass at marking any submissions that come through
• Only provide feedback: Don't give students a numerical mark, just feedback on how they did.

Select subtopics

Before we can see questions, lets narrow down what topics we'd like to see questions from. 

Clicking on the topic shows you the subtopics within it. Here you can choose one or more subtopics to include in your selection. 

As you select, you select subtopics, a badge containing the number of selected subtopics will appear next to the topic name. 

If you'd like to choose all subtopics, simply click on the checkbox next to the topic name.

The below screenshot shows that we have all 6 subtopics within "Cell Biology" selected, and 4 of Molecular Biology selected. However, for the purpose of this demonstration, we will only select subtopics, "The Origin of Cells" and "Cell Division".

When you're happy with your selection, move on to "Select questions". 

Select questions

Here we have two key areas of the page.

• Summary and time management controls: We summarise how many questions you've selected and how many marks the questions are worth. As a teacher, you are in control of how long the assessment or task should be based on the number of questions/marks selected. Note: A stopwatch timer is displayed to students, if no maximum time is set. A countdown timer is displayed to students if a maximum time is set. In either case, you can toggle the timer to hide it.
• Question selection: You can click on your chosen subtopics on the left to view the respective questions. To make finding questions easier, you are also able to filter the questions based on Paper and difficulty. You can click on the expand question icon to view the full question, along with the mark scheme and video solutions.

Review questions

This is your chance to review and re-organise your work as needed.

Drag the questions using the handlebars to the left of each question, or delete the question by clicking on the trash can to the right of the question.

If at any point you wish to add more questions or add content from more subtopics, you can either click on the "Previous" button on the bottom of the page, or click on the step name in the navigator at the top (not pictured).
