SchoolCity Assessment Platform
SchoolCity is a resource that allows teachers to create and access standards-aligned assessments and assessment components. SchoolCity assessments can be fully online, with a variety of item types, or pencil and paper via Answer Key Only (AKO) assessments. Please see the item bank section below for more information about available item types.
Item Bank assessments
Item Bank assessments
Item Bank Assessments in SchoolCity are online assessments in which everything is done within the SchoolCity portal. Teachers can create their own items (questions) and passages, select items and passages from a broad database of standards-aligned options, or include a combination of manually-created and pre-created items and passages.
Passages can include written text, images, audio, or even videos. Item types can include the following (and more):
Multiple choice: students select one correct answer from the choices provided
Hot text or hot spot: students click within the text or image to select the correct answer
Graphing: students submit a graph as their answer
Multi-select: students select more than one correct answer from the choices provided
Matching: students match terms and definitions, including images
Ordering: students arrange answer choices in order
Please check out the Creating Items and Passages page for more item types and how to create them (link above).
Answer Key Only
Answer Key Only
Answer Key Only (AKO) assessments in SchoolCity can be thought of as a replacement for traditional Scantron assessments. Exactly as the name implies, only the answers are entered into SchoolCity. Students can use a paper copy of the assessment and enter thier answers into a printed or online answer sheet.
