Creating students

Each student has their own account within an organisation's LMS, created by the teacher/adminstrator in the way that best suits how the institution works:

For placement students

• If students will be taking the test at school, create 'unknown' students. Simply enter the number of students you need and print out login slips.
• If students will be taking the test at home, import a simple list of email addresses. You can then automatically send an email to your students with their login details.
• You can create your own registration questions that students need to answer when they first log in.

For placement and practice test students

• If you have a lot of information to record about your students, import an Excel spreadsheet with student information to allow you to record all the information you require alongside your students' results.
• And of course, placement students can become regular students

Assigning tasks

You have several options when you assign tasks to students:

• Specify exactly when they have access to tasks.
• Request email notification when students complete tasks.
• Either allow or disallow students to see their results.
• Plus for Practice Tests:
  • Choose between Practice (with help) and Test (without help) modes.
  • Assign either: a whole test, a paper or a part at a time.

  Tracking progress

  Once students are working on their tasks, teachers can keep track of their work by:

  • Viewing whether students have started or finished their tasks.
  • Extending due dates for tasks.
  • Reassigning completed ‘Test mode’ tasks in ‘Practice mode’.
  • Add comments/corrections to complete writing papers using a ‘track changes’ style system.
  • Add scores for writing and speaking papers

  Managing and distributing the results

  Finally, when your students have completed their tasks you can view their results instantly in a clear and concise way. With the results you can:

  • View a whole class’s results in a simple table to highlight areas requiring attention in class.
  • View students’ completed tasks.
  • Sort, download and print the results.
  • Add scores for writing and speaking papers.
  • Print or email students’ result cards.
  • Move placement students into classes ready for practice tests or online practice.
