How to create Assessment Activity
There are two possible methods, with the primary distinction being in the assessment criteria. Activities may be created either through the "Plan" feature or the "Assessment Activity" feature, as outlined below:
🎯 Method 1: Create an Activity via the "Plan" Feature
Assessment Criteria: Based on criteria linked to the Learning Outcomes (LO).
Best suited for: Instructors who wish to systematically track learning outcomes (LO).
Procedure:
- Go to Plan
- Click New
- Select Assessment activity
- Fill up information about the assessment activity
- Click Create
🎯 Method 2: Create an Activity via the "Assessment Activity" Feature
Assessment Criteria: Not linked to Learning Outcomes (LO); instructors can define their own criteria as appropriate.
Best suited for: Instructors who require flexibility or wish to design specific activities.
Procedure:
Create through feature Assessment Activity
- Go to Assessment Activity
- Click New activity
- Fill up information about the assessment activity
- Click Create
Note:
- Any activity which is created through 'Plan' will be tracked with a learning outcome.
- The system defaults publish date as the current date. If you don't set publish date, an assessment cannot be created.
- The system displays activities based on the Publish Date set by the instructor and does not show the date and time the activity was created. If the Publish Date has not yet been reached, students will not be able to see the activity. However, once the Due Date has passed, students can still view the activity. If a student submits the work after the Due Date, the system will mark it as Late submission.
Import activity to align with learning outcome
If you have already created the activity, you can import activity to be tracked with the learning outcome. Follow these steps:
- Go to Plan
- Select learning outcome
- Click Import in Assessment Activity column
- Choose the activity that you want to import
- Click Add to align activity with learning outcome
