Overview The Assessment feature is an option in Chalkable Study Center that gives the teacher the ability to create assessments online and attach them to any Chalkable Classroom item (i.e., activity, homework, quiz or lesson plan). An assessment is a tool used to measure knowledge about a subject and the ability to apply that knowledge. An assessment is made up of items/passages and answers.

• The assessment module comes with a pre-loaded system Global Question Bank. The school or any user with appropriate permission may add additional Item Banks to the module. Items cannot be added to the Global Question Bank by a user.

• Many Reading Passages are contained in the Global Question Bank and may be attached as questions on a test.

• All Question Banks may be edited except the Global Question Bank; however, users may duplicate and rename an item from the Global Question Bank and then edit it.

• A Passage is composed of text and images used to solve test questions and aligned to state standards and searchable by grade level.

• Items and Passages may be organized by bank and subject.

• All Questions and Passage banks may be used in the creation of tests. Once the Question and Passage banks are set up, they are used to create assessments. An assessment/test is a group of questions used to assess the knowledge of a student. Assessments may be aligned with standards/courses of study. Each assessment is assigned a maximum score, start date/time, end date/time and attached to an item in Chalkable Classroom. Once an online test is created and attached to an activity, students in that section may log in via the student portal and take the test. The assessment is automatically graded and displayed in Assessment Results. The teacher must approve the score before it is posted to Chalkable Classroom. Test grades may be overridden by the teacher. For example, a test item may be set up as a Constructive Response requiring the student to write a narrative response. The only criterion required is a minimum number of lines. In this instance, the teacher may need to read each response and award grade subjectively.

Accessing To access assessments, select the Assessment tab on the left.

Note: Admin Portal users may also access the Assessment tool by selecting their name in the upper right hand corner and choosing Admin Portal and selecting the Assessment tab.

Question Types

Multiple Choice

Standard Multiple Choice Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ) allow user to select a correct answer from a number of potential answers.

Use standard multiple choice (one correct answer) or multiple answer (two or more correct answers). Also set up different layouts for the question – block or inline, add labels and columns. Different layouts are useful for different types of student devices. For example, using a block layout is useful if students have touch screens.


Choice Matrix Choice Matrix is a multiple answer question type with two (or more) option columns.

The question type contains a list of statements with buttons for each to indicate a response. There are a number of different choice matrix layouts available such as inline or table formatting, with or without labels. Scoring Types include:

• Exact Match: Student must answer all parts of the question correct to receive a mark.

• Partial Match Per Response: Each response element will be awarded an individual score.

• Partial Match: Each response will be scored individually and the overall question score will be divided between response.

Fill in the Blanks & Labeling

Cloze Text (Fill in the Blank) Cloze Text questions allow you to place empty response boxes in a passage of text which the student must fill in.


Cloze Drag & Drop (Fill in the Blank with a Word Bank) With Cloze Drag & Drop questions, students fill in the response boxes by dragging the correct answer from a predefined list.

Cloze Drop Down (Fill in the Blank/Predetermined Choices) Cloze Drop Down question type allows students to select the correct answer from a drop down menu which may be placed in the middle of text.

Image Drag & Drop With Image Drag and Drop, students select from a list of potential answers and drag them to the correct response box on the Image.


Image Drop Down With Image Drop Down, students select the correct answer from a drop menu of response boxes placed on the image.

Label Image Label Image questions allow students to label parts of an image by entering text into response boxes positioned on the image. While similar to Image Drag & Drop and Image Dropdown, here students are required to type in their responses.

Classify, Match and Order

Match List Match list question type requires students to match two lists of associated items, e.g. countries and their capital cities or historical events and the dates on which they occurred. The student is given one list in a fixed order and then has to move the responses of the second list to match this.


Classification This question type allows students to classify words, phrases, expressions, numbers, images into different categories using drag and drop. The question contains a table and a list of possible responses that should be dragged into the respective cells of the table.

Order List This type of question allows students to organize a list into specific order, such as from smaller to bigger, from earlier to later, etc. This question may be used to reorder words, sentences, paragraphs of text, math expressions, numbers or images.

Sort List This question type allows students to arrange items into their correct order by dragging them to the target area. This question is similar to Order List questions with a difference that students initially have two lists: one is a source area and the other is a target area where the items from the source list should be placed in correct order. Students may either drag and drop or highlight items and move them between and within lists using arrows.
