Markbook

Overview

Staff Kiosk Markbook is the new and improved version of webBook. While webBook's functionality has been maintained, enhancements have been made to create a seamless and modern interface. This program can be used for both Progressive Assessment and Final Assessment configurations.

As webBook is scheduled to be decommissioned in January 2025, your school must switch over and start using Staff Kiosk as soon as possible.

'Markbook' is the default name used by TASS, however, each school has the ability to rename it to one of their own choosing in Staff Kiosk Assessment > Parameters (Setup). All TASS Knowledge Base documentation refers to this program as 'Markbook'.

When you open the Markbook, the Reporting Periods Selection Screen will appear.

From this screen, you can choose the specific 'Reporting Period' that you want to open in the Markbook.

Then, the Subject Class Selection Screen will be displayed.

On this screen, you will see all the Subject Classes that have been assigned to you for the selected Reporting Period.

Each Subject Class has three different options for entering results and comments: Activity Assessment, Enter Results and Comments and the Results Grid.

Student-based data entry can also be completed via the Search Final Assessment button.

You can also set up activities from this screen via the Activity Setup link.

Refer to the information below for details about each data entry option.

Schools that don’t use Activities, can restrict access to Activity Setup and Activity Assessment by adjusting User Permissions in TASS.web. When this restricted access is applied, Enter Results and Comments and Results Grid can be accessed through this alternative menu pathway: Staff Kiosk Assessment > Enter Results and Comments.
