Schoology Assessments

Schoology has been committed to developing a more robust assessment feature for teachers to use with their students. At this point, teachers can create assessments, build questions and reference materials, assign to students, and share assessments with other teachers. Create and assign rubrics to specific questions to provide students with a more detailed breakdown of their score. The schoology assessment feature also has a more detailed math editor than the original test/quiz option. Grades from Schoology Assessments can be tracked directly to the PowerTeacher Pro gradebook.

This year, Schoology hopes to add a question bank feature, more friendly printable tests, and a variety of grading views for teachers.

Unfortunately, there is no lock-down browser option that works with our student Chromebooks.
