Blocksi - Assessment Mode

Assessment Library

Let’s create an assessment using the library. Click on the “Assessment” button at the bottom.

Choose one of the library options. This will probably be classroom or forms.

On the box that opens, you will need to put the link to the quiz from either classroom or forms, then click on “Confirm.”

The assessment window now shows several links. On the left, you have the page that will open automatically, and on the right, you have the pages that are allowed to be visited.

You should ALWAYS verifity that the items on the left and the right are correct, then choose to confirm it for the whole class, or to enforce it upon the group you have selected.

Web App Library

Let’s create an assessment using a web app template. Select “Web Apps” from the bottom.

Choose the appropriate app icon. I chose Google Docs.

Again, our list is populated with what is needed for this app to function. Our students will be taken to a blank Google doc, and the only other places that can access are the sites specific for Google Docs to function. This would be perfect for a writing prompt day.

Stacking Web Apps and Assessment Templates

Let’s combine two web apps into our list. Choose the “Web Apps” button.

Select the first app you would like to use. I chose Google Classroom.

Click the “Web Apps” button again.

Click the second icon. I chose Google Slides.

Now, when students are under this rule, they will be able to access anything within classroom and also within Google Slides. They will also automatically be taken to both websites in two unique tabs.

Custom Presets

What if this is something we want to do regularly, use both classroom and slides? While it isn’t too difficult to do those previous 4 steps, we can make it quicker.

I’m going to click on the “-” buttons to remove the enforce URL options.

This gives me an empty enforced area and a populated allowed list.

Now I’m going to click the “SAVE CURRENT PRESET” button.

On the box that opens, I’ll give it a name (I went with “Classroom and Slides”), and then I will click on “OK.”

Now, the next time I open up the assessment box, I will click on “Custom presets”

I’ll choose “Classroom and Slides” (or whatever preset I created in the past).

Then I’ll have my starting point. I also want to make this open to the assignment in Classroom, so I’ll click on the “Add Field” button.

In the box, I’ll paste in the address of the Classroom assignment.

From now on, all I have to do to make this kind of rule is to choose my custom preset, paste in my assignment, and confirm it for the group or the class!
