Assessment Center Tip: Collaboration

With so many of our teachers now working in collaboration, it becomes necessary for more than one teacher to be able to manage an Assessment Center class. This is an easy adjustment and here's how you do it.

First, log in to Assessment Center and open your class by clicking its name from the list of classes. Next, click on "Class Details" from the menu on the left. A sub menu containing two choices appears after the page reloads; choose the "Add/Remove Teachers" command. A list of available teachers will appear in the left window; choose the teacher you want to add to the class and click add. Then click save and you will have two teachers with equal access to the class and its information.

This practice is useful for checking reports and seeing how any student in the class is performing as well as seeing how the entire class is doing. Good communication between the collaborating teachers is important because either teacher can delete, reset, add or create an assessment. Having both teachers in the same account can also increase communication since both teachers can always see what assessments are pending.

If you need assistance adding another teacher to your class, contact your project leader for assistance.
