Allow Ed to Recommend Groups

From a single-assessment report, you can allow Ed to sort your students into three groups based on the student scores.

To allow Ed to recommend groups based on assessment results:

1. Open a report for an assessment by doing either of the following:

– On the Assignments Overview page, locate the assessment, click to open the Assignment Details page for that assessment, and click View Report. (The View Report button appears only if the selected assignment is an assessment with data to report.)

Note:

● Students are sorted into three groups based on their assessment scores.

● Each group contains the same number of students, unless the class consists of an uneven number of students, in which case more students are placed in the higher-performing group.

● Only students with data are placed in groups, so students who have not taken the assessment or who were not assigned the assessment remain in the Students column.

3. If needed, make manual adjustments to the groups, as follows:
