Assessments play a crucial role in a student’s learning journey. It helps them understand their progress, enables their teachers to measure the effectiveness of the content being taught and gauge their teaching strategy.

Assessments can also be used as a potent tool to make learning engaging. They convert a largely passive learning mode to an active bidirectional one. It is how students interact with and demonstrate their understanding to their teacher.

Assessments are an integral component of MagicBox. Over the years, we’ve added more substance and features to the module.

If you haven’t tried the module earlier, you can do so by accessing it on the left hand side menu under assessments. If you aren’t able to locate this menu item, respond to this email & your customer success manager will get in touch with you to showcase it to you.

It gives you the complete ability to author, distribute, and grade assessments seamlessly. Below you’ll see how.

Assessment Authoring

MagicBox provides you (publishers) and teachers with a powerful assessment authoring tool using which they can create different types of questions.

The platform supports the following Question types:

Grading Assistant

Most question types can be assigned a score and are autograded when students submit their response. This can help save a ton of time for teachers.

For descriptive and subjective assessment types, we’ve leveraged machine learning to evaluate the responses.

Teachers can provide an ideal answer for each open-ended question. On the basis of this answer, the evaluation engine will interpret the context and semantics for each student's response to provide appropriate score to the student.

This auto-evaluate engine can provide insights into the conceptual and grammatical understanding of student responses as well thereby saving teacher’s manual evaluation time.

Assessment Reporting

The teacher can get a clear insight on the learner’s progress through the various reports provided by MagicBox. Our tag based reporting helps identify intervention areas to address the learning gap. They can also see which types of content work best and which aren’t bringing the desired results.
