The Insights page provides valuable data about how your students are performing in their homework, helping you identify areas where they may need additional support or where they're excelling. This information can be used to inform your teaching and provide targeted intervention.

What is the new lesson quiz feature?
Lesson quiz will contain the same 5 questions from homework for all students in the class, based on the questions that were in the homework for that class.
These questions are picked based on correct questions, as we expect students who complete their homework to be able to complete the quiz.
You will have 3 methods for delivering the quiz:
Printed sheet
Present on the screen
Allow students to complete digitally
How you choose to get students to answer questions and mark them with the first two options is up to you. During testing, some schools collected in the papers and marked these themselves, some had students peer marking, and call out their scores.
For info, this isn't the same as Insights for example, where it shows 5 questions the class struggled with in the homework.
They will be different questions across both features.
