3.11 Assessment and Polls
- John Pendergast
Vivi’s Assessment tool can be used to run simple formative assessments with a class and the Poll toll can used to run wellbeing polls with the class.
Assessment
To begin an Assessment, teachers can display a question to be answered by the students either via the Whiteboard tool or another app. Select Assessment from the room’s homepage. This will pause the classroom display (if currently sharing) and bring up the Assessment options.
The types of Assessment that can be run are:
Multiple Choice Alphabetical
Multiple Choice Numerical
True/False
Yes or No
Free-form
Choose the Assessment type then select a time limit if required. On the right-hand side, if running either of the Multiple Choice Assessments, choose the number of answers (between 2 and 8) and, if running any except a Free-form, select the correct answer (optional). Select Start Assessment to begin.
Students will see the options to respond within their app and teachers will see the results live in their app (refer to the Results section below for further information).
Polls
To begin a Poll, select Polls from the room’s homepage. This will pause the classroom display (if currently sharing) and bring up the Poll options.
On the left-hand side use the first drop down to select a template, then use the second dropdown to set a time limit if required. A preview of the Poll will appear on the right-hand side. Click on Start Poll to begin.
Vivi has some default templates already on the app, however schools are able to modify or create their own so your templates may look different.
Students will see the options to respond within their app and teachers will see the results live in their app (refer to the Results section below for further information).
Results
When running either an Assessment or a Poll, teachers can view the live results in their app. By default, a list of the students' responses will be shown with their names hidden.
Use the selector on the left-hand side to view a Bar Chart or Pie Chart, or use the Show button in the centre to view individual student names.
To end an Assessment or Poll, select the Stop Assessment or Stop Poll button on the left-hand side, then select Confirm in the pop-up.
Once an Assessment or Poll has been stopped, results are saved in Vivi Central for you to access at any time. For further information on Vivi Central, refer to section 12.
