Basic Teacher Tasks in AwarePart 2: Testing and Data Analysis
Printing Answer DocumentsIf the “Test Available” button appears at the top of the classes list, then a teacher MAY print the answer documents for a class.Some campuses prefer to have the assessment coordinator print ALL the answer sheets, others may want teachers to do that.
To Print: Click on the “Test Available” buttonSelect the class periodClick the “Print Answer Sheets” button in the lower, right-hand corner.Note: If you do NOT have the “Print Answer Sheets” button, then teachers have not been given the rights to print answer sheets for this particular test.“Printing” in Eduphoria actually opens up a PDF document first. This is nice, because it allows the user to verify what they want to print is correct before actually sending it to the printer.Teachers can print all or select only the pages they want to print.
Each answer sheet is coded for the name of the student, the teacher, the course, or the test.Check the name of the test and make sure the answer sheet matches the test that is being given.
