Activity Assessment
For Class Teachers
If you are a class teacher, the following functionality is available when you click on 'Activity Assessment' for a subject class:
- For each class, determine the Objectives (criteria) that will be used to mark each Activity (based on a selection of Objectives set up by the academic reporting administrator).
- For each class, determine the weightings for each Activity/Objective.
- For each class, enter raw scores for each Activity/Objective in the markbook.
- Enter Activity comments for students.
For each class, Calculate Final Results based on Activity/Objective raw scores and their weightings.
Important!
There is also an option to include Activity raw scores from previous reporting periods (in the current year and/or previous year).
- For each class, Calculate the Overall Subject Grade(s) based on either:
'Final Results' (with equal or differential weightings). This documentation will refer to this as Calculation Method 1.
Activity/Objectives raw scores and their weightings (ignoring 'Final Results' in the calculation). This documentation will refer to this as Calculation Method 2.
Important!
There is also an option to include Activity raw sores from previous reporting periods (in the current year and/or previous year).
Exporting raw scores to an existing Microsoft Excel® template to allow calculation using certain Excel formulas. This documentation will refer to this as Calculation Method 3. Calculated results can then be uploaded back into the markbook.
- Print out the class markbook with detail including:
- Weightings.
- Adjusted weightings.
- Raw scores and calculated 'Final Results' and 'Overall Subject Grade'.
- Forecasts.
- Standard deviation and mean.
For HOD's or Department Administrators
If you are a HOD or Department Administrator, additional functionality is available when you click on 'Activity Assessment' for a subject class that belongs to your department:
Export raw scores for multiple subject classes to an existing Microsoft Excel® template to allow calculation using certain Excel formulas. Calculated results can then be uploaded back into the markbook.
The Activity raw scores and comments that are entered through webBook Progressive Assessment will become visible to students through Student Café and (optionally) to parents in Parent Lounge.
