Monitor Scratchie allows teachers to view the progress of each teams in the exam using a dashboard.
As teams select their answers, they are immediately reported.
The summary table shows the teams (in rows) and questions (in columns). As a leader for a team selects, then teacher can see the answer that was selected. The background of the selected answer shows whether it is the correct answer or not ( C = incorrect and C = correct).
As teams' select their answers and you can see these live, you will be able to figure out their misunderstanding and knowledge gaps are and prepare accordingly even before the teams finish the scratchie.
Select the question that you want to see the full report for.
Select the team leader to see the full report for the team.
As student raise burning questions, you will be able to see them in this section. This should allow you to prepare to discuss their challenges and questions before the teams complete the activity.
The 👍 icon shows the number of likes that the students have given to this burning question. This will tell you which are the most important ones that the students want to get addressed first.
The scratchie tool allows you to apply very flexible time limits and restrictions. Three ways to set on-exam time restrictions:
When you set up a this time limit, then each individual team gets a pre-determined number of minutes to complete the exam from the moment they start the exam (say 10 minutes). The time starts to countdown from the moment that the team leader begins the exam, so in our example, everyone gets 10 minutes regardless which date they start. You can set this up when authoring the exam or in Monitor as follows:
When you are running a synchronous exam -when all the teams are doing the exam at the same time -whether this is online or face-to-face in the classroom, you might want to set a hard deadline for it (i.e.: ‘Let’s get everyone to finish the assessment in 2 minutes’).
Unlike the relative time limit before, now you are able to set a hard deadline in minutes.
In these cases, you can grant a particular student or team (in the case the assessment is to be performed as a team).
These extensions are additions to the previous two time limits.
For instance if you are have given all students 10 minutes from their relative start of the exam, you can grant a single student (or group) an extra 10 minutes (adding a total of 20 minutes) to finish the exam.
If you have set up a hard time limit, then you can grant a student an extra number of minutes for him/her to complete the exam.
These time extensions provide a very powerful tool to manage time limits for students with special needs that might require extra time to complete an assessment.
The advanced settings section shows the options that were enabled or disabled when creating the activity in author (see ).
To better know how much time left the student might need, you can take a look at the . If about half of the teams have already completed the assessment, you might want to add just two more minutes for the rest to complete it.
