Reviews

Writemark

  • Can I upload my student submissions in bulk or do I have to do it one by one?

    You can upload student submissions in one file or multiple files and there is no limit to the amount of times you can upload either. 

  • How do I print additional template pages?

    You can print additional template pages via the “Print” menu within a Writemark activity and then clicking “Print Templates“.

  • Is Writemark feedback suitable to share directly with students?

    Yes absolutely. Upon reviewing and approving the proposed results, the activity will move to the “Completed” status where students are able to view their results and the associated feedback.

  • How do I progress my activity from “Matching In Progress”

    Once you have uploaded student handwriting and have students with the status “Matching in progress” you will need to complete the matching process. To do this, simply navigate into the activity and click the blue button at the top right of the screen “Match Essays”. This will take you to a screen where you will need to click and drag each unmatched page to the correct student in the student list on the left side of the screen. Once you have matched all pages, go through each student to ensure all pages are assigned in order left-to-right, then click the “Submit” button at the bottom right of the screen.

Progression

  • What does the “Value Add” column represent?

    Value Add is calculated by comparing the difference between the selected group and the national mean. For example, if viewing progression for a year 3 classroom then their average score will be calculated and compared with the national mean for year 3’s. The difference between these values gives Value Add. (eg. national mean = 80 compared with your classroom mean = 95 will provide a value add of 15)

Marks Book

  • Can I upload/record DIBELS data?

    While we do not support the upload and ingestion of DIBELS data in our Gap Analysis module, we do offer comprehensive tracking of DIBELS data within our Marks Book module, including benchmarks for beginning, middle and end of year stages.
