Assessment Center Tip: Sharing an Assessment

One of the great features of Assessment Center is the capability of using an assessment in more than one class.  There are two situations to be considered here.  The first situation ins using an assessment in more than one class that you teach. This one is easy; when you are creating the assessment, you will come to a page where you are asked to name the assessment. On this page, you will see a box at the bottom in front of these words: Make this assessment available in my other classes. After clicking this box and saving the assessment, you will find the assessment listed as an unassigned assessment in each of your classes. Remember, this assessment is not yet assigned in the class you are working in until you assign it on the page after the naming page

The other way to share an assessment is to share it with other teachers. This decision should be made right away when creating an assessment. On the very first page of the test creation, there is a box at the bottom of the page which says: Share this assessment, so that other educators can search for it. Now when other teachers search for your assessment, it will be available to them. It is a good idea for your staff to agree to some common language for assessment names so the search is more efficient. For example, it might be good to put your grade and/or subject in the title of the assessment.
