This resource introduces online assessments and the various question types students will experience as well as tips for submitting online assessments.
Online Assessments
Online assessments are one way you are assessed on knowledge comprehension. These assessments have a variety of question types, such as matching, ordering, multiple answer, multiple choice, passage, and/or essay. Most question types, excluding essays, are auto-graded, and you may be able to see your assessment score immediately after submitting the assessment. However, for assessments including essays, the teacher will need to view and grade those responses before you will be able to see your score.
NOTE: All Mastery Assess Its are online assessments.
Online Assessment Question Types
Depending on which Learning Management System (LMS) – Buzz, Canvas, or Learning Tree – you use, the question types you’ll experience and how you interact with them will vary. Move through the presentation below to find your LMS and read about the various question types.
