getting a picture of understanding

Over the last few semesters, I have started to use the tools offered in D2L to really consider the experience of the students. In this post, I am specifically talking about assessments. After a unit closes (or even during if I know that students have completed the quiz), I go to the quiz tab, click on the "stats" button and determine where my students scored. The graphs displayed give a quick picture of the class. To me, this is especially important in unit 1 as students are just learning to use the system and what the "online" test can be about. I individually contact these students to make sure that they know they can have the book open, that the study guide provided by me for each unit should be used to guide their readings and to make sure they are comfortable with the environment.

How do you support your students with assessment?
