Step by step quiz sharing with another teacher

 QUESTION

How can I share tests with another teacher?

ANSWER

First:

1. Use the "Share" item under "Other tests" in your menu.
2. Enter the other teacher's login or email under "Share your tests with another teacher" and click "Add".

Next:
1. Have the teacher you are sharing with click "Share" in the menu.
2. Your login or email should appear under "Donors" for the teacher you've shared with.
3. The teacher who wants to copy your test should click on your login under "Donors".
4. Your Design area tests are now visible for copying.
5. If you've shared a specific class, the recipient can also select the class by name under the drop down select box containing your login or email address.

Sharing an account

 QUESTION

I have a co-teacher this year and would like to share through my account so that we both see the data from our students.

Is this available and I am just not seeing it?


ANSWER

The "Share" item in your menu allows you to share exams with other teacher accounts, but it doesn't share anything about your students or their grades.

We would recommend changing the email address on your account to a shared email address, for example something like some-shared-account@gmail.com and sharing this account with your co-teacher. You can change the email address for your account under "Account info" in the menu.

If both you and your co-teacher know the email address and password, you'll both be able to access the account. Either one of you could later change the account email address back to a personal account if, in the future, the account no longer needed to be shared.

Another option is to add your own teacher account info to the co-teacher's mobile phone or tablet using the ThatQuiz mobile app. Once enrolled, your password is not visible to the co-teacher, but all of your ThatQuiz account info (classes, exams, students) are permanently accessible and controllable (create, delete, etc) from the co-teacher's device. Remember that once a teacher account is added to a device, however, that account remains on the device as long as the device owner wants it there. So, even if your co-teacher were no longer your co-teacher next year, he or she would still have complete access.

How can I send a quiz from the app?

QUESTION

How can I send a quiz from the app?

ANSWER

If your students are using mobile phones or tablets to test, you should have the students scan their student QR code with their devices. From then on, every test you assign is automatically available on the student's device, without "sending" it.

Or, if your students are using a web browser, you could send them the URL of their class home page. Log into your account on a computer, and click "Edit class" in your menu to see the URL of the class home page. The class home page gives all students an entry point to all of their assigned tests.

Or, send an email to your students with the test code for a test you've created. The test code is composed of eight letters or digits. Something like "A9XMR1TL". It appears for each test in the list of assignments.

Student screenshots

QUESTION

A student shows me a screenshot with 100% correct, while the recorded grade shows missed problems. Or, they show me their screen on the device with a higher grade than was saved. What's going on?

ANSWER

Students do know some tricks. ThatQuiz saves the grade from the first time a student finishes a quiz. If a student shows you a different result on their screen than the result you have saved in your account, trust the official saved grade. Computer screens and screenshots can be manipulated in many ways. ThatQuiz records every answer your student gives every time he or she completes a problem. Those answers were the student's real answers, and our grade is the grade you can trust.

Different problems for each student

QUESTION

I want a single test where each student receives a different subset of problems from a larger problem bank. What do I do?

ANSWER

Create a large test with 100 questions. You can configure the test so that each student receives a different random subset of the total problem set.

Click on the test name in your list of tests. This allows you to edit many options related to the set.
If you have Random order already set, look immediately to the right of the word Random for the length of the test. When you set a length like 50 / 100 or 20 / 100 it means that each time someone takes the test they receive a random selection of 50 or 20 questions out of the full problem set.
