I am a special ed teacher, working with students who are working toward a regular diploma. My question - the articles that can be assigned, can these be read to my students?? I have some students with reading struggles, if they can hear/have an audio option to hear the article, their retention and understanding increases. This would also allow me to assign videos & articles, to help the students.(4 votes)
Sadly no, there is not currently a read-aloud feature for the articles or practice exercises.
I know this is a highly desired feature though, and I believe the team is currently working on some potential new features to address this issue!
In the meantime, you may be able to use a screen reader browser extension to do this? I have seen some teachers that have used this in the past with some success.(2 votes)
- I assigned something AFTER I had told them to do it. Some had already done it but their work is not showing up in the report since I officially assigned it AFTER they did it.. do they have to do it again?(2 votes)
- If a student completes a video, exercise, etc., before you assign it, the assignment will not be marked as complete.
This is intentional in order for teachers to assign content multiple times. For example, a teacher might reassign an exercise from a previous course as a review or to have the student complete an exercise multiple times.
That being said, if you have a student that completed the assignment before you assigned it, you can use the Individual Student Activity report to verify that the student completed the assigned content. You can then edit the assignment to remove the student from it so that it does not appear on their assignments list.(1 vote)
How do I control the number of attempts for a quiz or test?(2 votes)- Hi Mike,
Unfortunately, there's not a way to restrict the number of times students can complete a quiz or unit test.
However, if you instruct your students to only complete the quiz/test once, you can then verify this using one of the assignment reports. To access this report, go to Assignments --> Manage and then click on the button in the Completed column. In the popup, you should see an Attempts column that shows how many times each student completed the quiz/test.
I hope this helps!(1 vote)
- what if I want to see the date the assignment was completed? Is this information available? Also is it possible to lock the assignment?(1 vote)
- Yes! You can see the date the assignment was created by going to the Assignments --> Manage tab and clicking on the button in the Completed column.
It is not possible to lock an assignment, but late submissions will be marked on this report by the timestamp and a late flag.(1 vote)
- can assignments be submitted after the due date(1 vote)
- Is there a way to see an OVERALL average for a student(1 vote)
- Unfortunately no, Khan Academy does not calculate grade averages or letter grades since it is a mastery-based system.(1 vote)
- Do assignments which are assigned to learners with a due date expire if they don't complete it?(1 vote)
- No, students are still able to view and complete assignments after the due date.
You can see if an assignment was submitted late by going to Assignments --> Manage. Then, click on the button in the Completed column and you will see a Late flag under the Date & Time Completed column if they completed the assignment after the due date.(1 vote)
Video transcript
- [Narrator] This video will highlight how to monitor student progress with assignment reports on Khan Academy. The assignment score report
is a tool for teachers to view and analyze their students'
performance on assigned tasks. Start by selecting the class
from your teacher dashboard and then selecting Scores
under the Assignments tab in the left-side navigation menu. This will bring you to the
assignment scores report. If the assignment is a video or article and students have
completed the assignment, you will see a green check mark. To earn completion for a video, the student must have watched
at least 90% of the video at no faster than double speed. To earn completion for an article, the student must have
clicked into the article. If the assignment is an
exercise, quiz, or test, the student's best score will be shown in a color-coded box. The boxes appear as
red for scores 0 to 59, yellow for scores 60 to 99, or green for a score of 100. If the student has not
completed the assignment, the box will remain gray. To access a more detailed report for an individual assignment, from the assignment scores report, select the assignment
name for any assignment that contains questions. This report is called the response report. This screen shows you an example of an assignment's report for an exercise. On the left-hand side of the screen, you can select the first or
last attempt students made to answer the question. You are also able to select each question to see students' responses. If you've chosen to
provide different questions for each student, the questions appear in the order students found
them most challenging. The questions students
answered incorrectly most frequently appears at the top, while the questions
students answered correctly most frequently appears at the bottom. If you've chosen to
provide the same question for all students, the questions appear in the order in which they were presented to them. On the right side, you can select a specific
student or the whole class to view the assignment responses report. Select the Responses tab on
the right to see a summary of student responses. Correct responses can be highlighted by selecting the Reveal answer button. You can view which
students gave which answers by selecting an individual response to display student names. We recommend keeping
student's name private when sharing this report
with the entire class. Additionally, you can select the Draw tab to reveal a scratch pad space that you can also use to solve
problems live with students. Consider using this report
to do error analysis with your students. Analyze where mistakes were made that led to an incorrect answer and correct misunderstandings. We also suggest having a student solve the problem
step-by-step for the class instead of the teacher as a way to encourage student voice and build students' confidence. In the Hints tab, you can view the step-by-step
process to solve the problem. These are the same steps
provided to students in real time when they select Get a
Hint option in an exercise. You can also access the
assignment responses report by selecting the Manage tab
from the class dashboard and then selecting the blue
hyperlink that says Responses for the individual assignment. The assignment score report and the assignments
responses report are helpful in monitoring assignment
progress for an entire class. If you would like to look more closely at the assignment progress
for a single student, use the individual
student assignment report. From the class dashboard, select Activity overview from
the left-side navigation, then select the individual student whose assignment progress you wanna view by selecting the blue circle
next to the student's name. This brings you to the
individual student report. Select the Assignments tab to view all assignments
given to that student. This report displays
the due date and time, assignment name, assignment status, attempts made on the assignment, and the student's best score if the assignment is an
exercise, quiz, or test. (bright music)
