Assessment Overview


The EducoSoft Student Assessment Feature is designed to guide students through various assessments, each tailored to support learning and evaluate understanding. Here’s a breakdown of how it works:


  1. Accessing Assessments:
    Students access assessments by clicking the "Assessments" link in the Course Tools. This displays a list of all available assessments, including the title and any prerequisites (PR) that must be completed before taking the assessment.


  1. Types of Assessments:
    • Homework: The student gets a question, if the answer is incorrect he/she can see the solution for guided learning, and attempt another version of the same question until the answer is correct.
    • Practice Quiz: Designed for test preparation, providing solutions for every question to help students learn and review.
    • Quiz: Simulate real exams with no help or solutions offered. This type of assessment is intended to measure the student's independent understanding.


  1. Homework Process:
    • Starting Homework: After clicking "Take" for a homework assignment, a prerequisite screen appears if any PRs are attached.
      • A green check mark indicates completed prerequisites, while a red arrow shows any remaining requirements.
      • The "Start" button becomes active once all prerequisites are met.




    • Homework Screen:
      • On the Assessment page, if a student enters the correct answer, they can proceed to the next question. If the answer is incorrect, the "Solution" and "Try Again" buttons will be displayed.
      • When the student clicks the "Try Again" button, the system will present a new version of the same question, allowing them to answer it again.
      • During assessments, the "Save and Complete Later" button is always visibleand students can navigate between questions and save their progress using the "Save and Complete Later" button.
      • Upon completion, clicking "Submit Assessment" displays the Result Page.



  1. Practice Quiz Process:
    • Aimed at preparing students for formal tests or quizzes, providing solutions for all questions to support understanding.
    • On the Assessment page, the "Try Again" and "Solution" options are always visible, even before the student attempts to answer. This allows students to explore solutions or retry a new version of the question at any time during the assessment.
    • Clicking the "Try Again" button generates a new version of the same question, offering repeated practice to enhance understanding.
    • The "Save and Complete Later" button remains accessible throughout the assessment, giving students the flexibility to pause and resume their progress at their convenience.
    • After completion, click "Submit Assessment" to view their results.




  1. Quiz Process:
    • Quiz provides an exam-like environment with no solutions available during the test. A link allows students to contact their instructor if they need clarification on any question.
    • On the Assessment page, students are required to answer each question without access to the "Solution" or "Try Again" options, encouraging independent thinking and problem-solving skills.
    • Once an answer is submitted, it is final, requiring students to carefully review and confirm their responses before proceeding to the next question.
    • After completion, click "Submit Assessment" to view their results.


  1. Result Page:
    • This page provides a summary of the student's performance, including overall score, and excludes scores for sample questions where solutions were provided.
    • A detailed list shows each question, how it was graded, and review solutions.
    • Students can view an objective-wise diagnostic analysis to understand their strengths and weaknesses.


  1. Solution Page:

    The EducoSoft solution page offers the following features:

    • Question Code: A unique identifier for each question.
    • Evaluation Status: Displays whether the student's response is correct.
    • Max Score: Indicates the maximum points possible for the question
    • Student Response: Shows the students' entered answers, with green checkmarks indicating correctness.
    • Solution Button: Provides access to a detailed solution to help students understand the correct answers.
    • Navigation Bar: Allows students to switch between questions, with color-coded indicators showing the status of each question.



The EducoSoft Student Assessment Feature thus provides a structured, supportive environment for students to learn, practice, and review their progress effectively.
