Reviewing Interactive Type of Assignments
Examples of Interactive Types of Assignments
Interactive types of assignments include the Digital Student Books, Vocabulary Builders, Writing Prompts, Vocabulary Quizzes, ExperTrack Assessments, and more! These resources have a blue Interactive label on the resource card within the course.
The student can review the submitted assignment by clicking on the title of the assignment. After clicking on the assignment title displays the assignment in review mode to the student.
Clicking on Close Review button on the top right corner of the screen will display the below message to the student.
The student can click on Review button and it will navigate to the Assignment Overview page.
Clicking the Close Review button will redirect the student to the review message page, while clicking the Close Overview button will take them to the assignment questions. Depending on the teacher’s settings when releasing the assignment, the student can:
