Coursework

The Coursework page hosts the Coursework feature, which you can use to do the following:

  • Create units for grouping your assignments. You can also set up other ways of classifying assignments. These are described in the Setting up the Coursework Feature section.

  • Create assignments. These can include assignments that students will complete in the portal, as well as those that might take place offline, such as an oral presentation. This is described in the Anatomy of Assignments and Working with Assignments sections.

  • Add content to online tests. Students log in to the portal to take these tests, and the tests can also be automatically graded. This process is described in the Adding Content to Online Tests section. If you prefer, you can require students to use enhanced integrity options such as the Respondus LockDown Browser or the ProctorFree proctoring system.

  • Give students grades for assignments and provide other feedback. This process is described in the Managing and Grading Assignments section.

  • Review detailed statistics about students’ work on a particular online test. Using a feature called Test Analysis, you can review metrics that show which questions were most difficult for students, and so forth. This is described in the Viewing Statistics about Online Tests section.

Most of these sections are part of the Coursework compilation of instructions.

Note that, by default, the content and layout of the Coursework page cannot be modified, which means that you cannot remove the Coursework feature, nor can you add other features to this page.
