Track student progress in real time for online assignments. This allows teachers to see how quickly students are progressing on an assignment, where they may be struggling or identify who may need additional help. Teachers can also use the console to enter scores and comments into the gradebook. Students can view corrections, feedback, and scores online after teachers review and return their work. (Can be conducted entirely online by both students and teachers).
