Heatmaps show real-time student data.

The scoring is color-coded, and icons represent levels of understanding for each type of question.

  • Summative questions: These questions assess student mastery by cumulatively evaluating student understanding.

    • Students are only allowed a single try and are provided feedback on the correct answer if necessary to proceed with the lesson.

    • Heatmap shows colors and student scores

  • Formative questions: These questions help students construct understanding through practice with knowledge and skills.

    • Students get a minimum of three tries. If they get an answer wrong, they are given feedback on how to correct it when they click on the icon in the upper right of the question box during the lesson.

    • Heatmap shows only the color

    • The question view of the heatmap allows you to view student answers and how many tries the student took to get to the correct answer.

  • Conversational questions: Give students an opportunity to activate prior knowledge, brainstorm ideas, record observations, and make notes from videos, images, and diagrams.

  • Hidden: Allow students to “make a prediction” or record data that is not scored but is brought forward in the lesson as students’ prior responses, which are shown in purple.

  • Teacher-graded questions: These questions are marked with a blue highlight and a pencil icon.

  • Teachers are provided with a rubric to assign students a qualitative or quantitative score.

    • This rubric is applied to the answers written by the students to be reviewed by the teachers
