Create a Continuum to Track Progress

What are Assessment Aspects?

Once you have authorised your assessment users you can begin to setup your Assessment Aspects from your device, the steps below will help you to get started.

An Assessment Aspect is a continuum or set of values to track learners progress.  

You create the values: you name them; you choose their value; their colour and also as a short descriptor (usually a few letters/numbers). 

A preview of how the value will look displayed the bottom of the screen. As you build the continuum/aspect you easily edit any of the values to suit your needs. 

You design your aspects and add them to a schema to create a continuum or set of values to track learners' progress.

You may choose to build an aspect that fits with the assessment model that your school is already using. 

Alternatively, you may choose this opportunity to design a new continuum.

You can create a number of different continuums or schemas to suit your Learner's varied and individual needs.  

Use different continuums for Learners of different pathways or key-stages, they can be subject specific or personalised to an individual learner.
