After the marking, the learning.

Follow-up helps students act on their marked work. Teachers review improvement actions tied to an answer, enable redrafting and check suggested practice before sharing it. The next activity is based on the evidence in the test. A redraft supports improvement; it does not change the published assessment mark.

Improvement actions and redrafts

Point at the exact words to improve.

Feedback on an answer can come with improvement actions, each tied to a phrase in the student's own answer. You check them, the student redrafts, and you see who has acted on it.

Explain why increasing the temperature increases the rate of a reaction. [4]

Transcript

When it gets hotter the particles move faster so they hit each other more. This makes the reaction go faster.

Highlighted: the words action 2 refers to.

Saved actions are used the next time results are published.

Check the actions. Each action names one improvement and points at the words in the answer it refers to. Choose an action to see its anchor, or remove it.

Example data. Student names, answers and check comments are illustrative.
Follow-up practice

Practice for each student, from their own marked work.

Practice areas are drafted from what the marked answers showed. You review each one, see exactly who gets it and why, then send it in class or as homework. Try it below.

  1. 1Practice areas from marked workEach area says why it was drafted and which students get it.
  2. 2Check, build, applyShort question sequences you can edit, or drop a question.

Class retrieval

Start the next lesson with what they got wrong.

Pick a class and one or more of its marked tests. A Do Now of 4 questions, or a longer quiz of 10, is built to target what those tests showed the class gets wrong. Questions from your bank come first; anything missing is generated from the evidence.Pick a class and its marked tests. A Do Now of 4 questions, or a quiz of 10, targets what the class got wrong.

  • 1Show it one by one, or as a grid with every answer hidden.
  • 2Add a countdown of 1, 3, 5 or 10 minutes, and go full screen.
  • 3Mark each question Ask again or Don’t ask again. A retired question is left out of that class’s next set.
  • 4Edit the question, answer or note before you show it.

What is the activation energy of a reaction?

Why this question?Whole-class feedback: 11 of 27 recent responses showed we need to tighten activation energy. Use this check to practise the fact, method, or wording that will improve the next answer.

What you control

You decide what goes out, to whom, and when.

You check every action, choose whether students can redraft, review who gets which practice, and set when it opens and closes.

Which actions students seeCheck each action’s wording and the words it points to. Edit or remove any of them. Saved changes are used the next time you publish results.
Whether students can redraftTurn on Let students redraft answers when you publish to the portal. It needs feedback and next steps to be shown. Without actions, students redraft against the next step.
Who gets which practiceReview each area, change which students get it, edit a question, its mark scheme or study tip, or drop a question before anything is sent.
When and how it arrivesIn class or as homework, straight away or scheduled, with a hand-in date, the option to close it after, and hints on or off.
What the class revisitsEdit any retrieval question before you show it. Ask again brings it back for that class; Don’t ask again retires it.
Marks stay where they areRedrafts, practice and retrieval all come after the marking. A redraft check judges the improvement, never the mark: the published mark stays as it is.

Getting started
  1. 1Upload your test and mark schemeThe questions and mark-scheme points are pulled out for you to check.
  2. 2Add the class's scriptsScan the pile as one PDF, upload a file per student, or let students scan a QR code on their devices.
  3. 3Review and releaseEach student starts marking as soon as their name is confirmed. You check the flagged answers and release.
