Canvas Assignments are a way for instructors to provide students opportunities to practice using the knowledge and skills they have gained or to assess student performance related to such knowledge and skills. (Creating an Assignment is the only way to create a new column in the Gradebook.)

In Canvas there are four basic Submission Types for assignments. The submission types include:

No Submission : For assignments for which you are not collecting any content from the students.
Text Entry : For students to enter text directly into a text box on Canvas.
Website URL : For students to enter a URL (usually to a blog, video, podcast, etc.).
Media Recordings : For students to upload or record media for submission.
File Uploads : For students to upload files for submission ( Restrict Upload File Types will allow you to limit which types of files may be submitted).
On Paper : For assignments students will submit in person.
External Tool : For assignments which students will submit through a third-party tool (such as Turnitin, Panopto Video Quiz, and PlayPosit).

When getting started with Assignments, learn to

Create an assignment shell with the Canvas guide How do I create an assignment?

If you select Peer Reviews Appear Anonymously , annotation tools in SpeedGrader will become unavailable.

If you change the Assign To area from Everyone to select students after submissions have already begun, and do not have a second set of Assign To dates, submissions from unassigned students will disappear.

Published assignments are visible as existing outside of availability dates, but students cannot see the details.
If looking to update the due and/or availability dates on multiple assignments, see How do I bulk update due dates and availability dates as an instructor?
If choosing the option to make an assignment a Group Assignment : If only assigning to specific groups, make sure to click the X on the Everyone Else choice under Assign to .

Media Recording Assignments are not recommended due to technical reasons. Instead, have students submit media by embedding it in a Text Entry assignment through Panopto .

Clearly express expectations and criteria for grading by using a Rubric .

Be cautious limiting submission attempts, as students often make mistakes loading documents and need multiple attempts to ensure you have the correct submission.

Accessibility Tips

Use descriptive text for links, instead of long URLs or ‘click here’.
Make instructions brief and to-the-point. Avoid long paragraphs and sentences.
Consider allowing multiple submission types to accommodate technical limitations students may face.

Assignment Groups are a way to categorize different graded items in Canvas. For example, you may have journals, blogs, and essays which your students create in your course. Assignment Groups allow you to label and group different types of assignments separately in order to better organize and for ease when applying weighting (see How do I weight the final course grade based on assignment groups? ).

How to Create Assignments

Using assignments in Canvas provides a streamlined process for assigning homework and creating quizzes for students. Canvas considers an ‘assignment’ to be anything that is graded, whether that be a quiz or homework assignment, and whether it’s delivered entirely online, paper-and-pencil, or is a participatory assignment with no actual deliverable.

This Quick Start guide will cover the creation of assignments where the student submits a file electronically, on paper, using an external tool such as Turnitin or Panopto , or where no submission is expected (e.g. class participation). See How to Create Tests and Quizzes for Your Canvas Course and Create and Manage Discussions for more information about using those tools as assignments.

1. In the Course Navigation menu, click the Assignments link.

Navigation menu in Canvas with red arrow pointing to link for Assignments.

2. Click “ +Assignment ” at the top right.

3. Write the assignment title and directions for students.

Screenshot indicating with red arrows to the Assignment Name text box and the RCE text box

4. Assign the number of points available for the assignment.

Screenshot of Points field in a Canvas assignment showing a sample value of 20.

5. Choose an “ Assignment Group” . Assignment groups are, in essence, a category of assignment. For more information about using Assignment Groups, see the Canvas guides regarding Assignments.

Screenshot of assignments dashboard in Canvas with drop down menu showing how to assign an assignment to a group.

6. There are four submission types :

Screenshot of Canvas assignments with drop down menu indicating how to select an assignment type. Red arrow pointing to the "online" option.

No Submission: an activity where nothing will be collected from students (e.g. a participation grade)
For the full details about the online assignment subtypes, (text entry, annotation, file upload, etc.), please see the official documentation .
We have a recorded mini-webinar on annotation assignments, including assignment ideas, available on the Training Webinars page.
On Paper: assignments/quizzes/activities that were written on paper and collected by the instructor
External Tool: assignments submitted through a 3rd party tool that is integrated with Canvas, such as a textbook publisher’s website or Turnitin

7. Submission Attempts: You may allow unlimited submission attempts for Online assignments, or restrict attempts to one or more. When a student submits to an assignment they have already submitted to, the previous submission is retained as well, and the instructor may view both.

8. Group Assignments and Peer Reviews: Assignments can be created as either a group assignment or peer review assignment.

9. Assign options- You can assign an assignment to your entire class, a specific student, and/or a section of your class. You can also set the due date and the availability dates (when your students can submit their assignment). Each section can have different due dates and availability dates.

Screenshot of assignment parameters in Canvas with red arrows pointing as "Assign to:", "Date:" and available fields.

10. If you are finished creating the assignment, click on “ Save & Publish “. If you are not finished creating the assignment, click on “ Save ” and you may come back and work on it more later without students having access to it.

Create an assignment in canvas.

In Canvas, any activity with an associated point value is considered an Assignment and will appear on the Assignments page, as well as in the gradebook. Assignment formats include quizzes, discussions, online document submission, and no submission, and external tool assignments. You can give an assignment to everyone in the course or target it to a specific section or user.

Types of Graded Activities in Canvas

The following table lists the types of graded activities in Canvas and their strengths and weaknesses.


	Multiple submission types, alignment with rubrics and outcomes, no paper waste, easier to control content, easier to randomize, faster grading, student submission directly to instructor and TAs	Potential technical problems such as network problems or internet connectivity loss, possible file size limitations, less personal feedback, learning curve for teachers or students not familiar with Canvas or technology in general
Quizzes	Automatic grading and regrading, multiple attempts, instant feedback	No regrading if you pulled questions from a question bank, cannot add points automatically, limited regrading options
Surveys	Instant feedback, faster grading, no paper waste, faster than passing out paper surveys to hundreds of students Points awarded based on survey submission	Potential technical problems Not available in New Quizzes format
Discussions	Discussions not limited to a single class period. Students have more time to formulate responses, keeps a record of comments for grading purposes, shy students more likely to participate. All students in the class can see the submission so students can get ideas from each other.	Potentially time-consuming to read comments from large groups of students, potential technical problems, students may not do their own work after seeing work of others (can be circumvented using the requirement to post before seeing other student replies)

Frequently Asked Questions about Canvas

Main navigation, orienting to canvas.

Watch a video overview of Canvas here .

Organizing your Canvas Course Site

Where do students submit graded work .

Students submit their graded work to the "Assignments" tool. There are several settings you'll need to adjust within the "Assignments" tool; for example, you'll need to designate whether the assignment will be graded on a points-based system, a holistic letter grade system, or as "complete/incomplete." You'll also set the due date for the assignment submission in this tool and decide how long you'd like to allow students to submit the assignment. To learn more about how the Assignments tool works, check out Canvas' support materials on using Assignments.

Where do students submit ungraded work (for a DropBox-like functionality)?

Use the "Assignments" tool in Canvas. Once you create your assignment, click "Edit," and then scroll down to the "Display Grade As" menu. You can select from a number of options, like "Not Graded," "Points," "Letter Grade," or "GPA."

How should students access course readings?

The best tool to use to organize course readings, websites, and other activities is Modules. While the "Files" tool is effective for storing documents, images, and videos from your hard drive, the Modules tool offers a more user-friendly interface for students because readings, web URLs, and other materials can be organized based on the unit you're teaching or the week you're teaching new material.

To learn more about how to use the Modules tool, check out Canvas' support on using Modules.

How do I embed a URL into the Files?

Unfortunately, you cannot use put URLs into the Files tool. You can use the Modules tool to share URLs with your students.

How do I ensure that all of my course materials are visible to students?

You will see a grey cloud icon with an "x" through the middle if your course material is unpublished. When you want to publish any of your course material, click the "grey" cloud; you will see that it becomes green and has a checkmark in the middle. Once the cloud is green, your work has been published and is visible to your students!

Here's a video about organizing Canvas sites.

Communicating with Students via Canvas

How do i contact the students in my course .

Use the "Announcements" tool to contact your students about last-minute changes, reminders for class, and resources for them to explore. When you write an announcement and click the "save" button, the announcement will be immediately sent to all of your students. There is no "draft" feature in Announcements, so if you'd like to save a draft of an announcement, you can select the option to delay your post and send the announcement at a later date.

The only reasons an announcement might not reach a student in your class if your course is published or if an individual course members has opted to turn off notifications for announcements.

Can I send an e-mail to my class outside of Canvas?

Unfortunately, you cannot. You can use the "Inbox" tool instead of the "Announcements" tool if you'd like to send a message to your class, but you don't want the message to be archived in your class page. Otherwise, the "Announcements" tool is your best option.

Grading in Canvas

How do i use the gradebook in canvas .

In Canvas, the "Grades" tool is auto-populated by scores you enter into the "Assignments" tool. In order to use the Canvas gradebook, you must already be using the "Assignments" tool. You can only modify scores in the "Grades" tool by changing the grades located in the "Assignments" tool.

How do I grade individual assignments in Canvas?

When you set up an assignment in the "Assignments" tool, students will have a space to submit their work. Once students have submitted their work to an assignment, you will then be able to grade their work either by using the "Speedgrader" tool or by downloading their submissions. The Speedgrader tool will allow you to grade student work in your web browser without having to download documents. The Speedgrader tool also features essay mark-up options; you can add comments and highlight student writing directly in the browser. To learn more about the Speedgrader, check out the Canvas support website on Speedgrader.

Here's a video about setting up assignments in Canvas.

Note that if you use the Speedgrader tool, students will see your grades as you're assigning them. If you do not want your student's grade to show up immediately after using Speedgrader, go into "Grades," hover over the graded item, and click the downward-facing arrow to reveal a drop-down menu. Click the arrow and select “Mute Assignment” from the menu. When you are ready to release the grades, go back into Grades, repeat this process, but choose to select “Unmute Assignment.”

Using the Attendance Tool

How do i use the attendance tool .

You can keep track of which students are in class and which are absent by clicking the "Attendance" tool in the left-hand toolbar. From there, you'll see that your students' names are automatically visible. Click the symbol that looks like a "no" sign; if you keep clicking that button, you'll see options for "in attendance" (a green button with a checkmark), "absent" (a red button with an "x"), and "tardy" (a yellow button with a clock icon).

Can I indicate how many minutes late a student is if I select the "tardy" option?

You cannot personalize the default buttons on the attendance tool. However, you can create "badges," which are like notes that you can repeatedly add to individual student entries. You can create "badges" by clicking the "More" button next to a student's name. Then, click "Add badge." to create a new badge for your class. For example, you could create a "badge" for "5 minutes late," "10 minutes late," and "20 minutes late" to indicate the extent to which a student was late to class. Similarly, you create a "badge" for positive accolades, like "Was an especially great leader in class discussion" or "I would love to hear more from you in the larger group conversation." You can create up to 5 badges for your course.

How do I get rid of or modify the "Roll Call Attendance" assignment?

The Attendance tool automatically creates an Assignment called "Roll Call Attendance" that's worth 100 points. If you do not want attendance to be a graded part of your course, take the following steps:

Go into "Assignments."
Click "Roll Call Attendance."
Click "Edit Assignment Settings."
Scroll down to the drop-down menu for "Display Grade As"
Select "Not Graded."
Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click "Save."

If you'd like attendance to be a graded part of your course, but you want to change the "percentage" or "point" value, take the following steps:

Go into "Assignments."
Click "Roll Call Attendance."
Click "Edit Assignment Settings."
Select how you want the attendance grade to be displayed.
Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click "Save."

Submitting a File to a Canvas Assignment on a Student's Behalf

Updated on Jun 12, 2023

Instructors can submit a file to a Canvas Assignment set to accept file uploads on behalf of a student in their course's Gradebook. Their submission to the assignment will include the timestamp as well as who submitted the file to the assignment. The instructor can also submit multiple files at a time for a single student, and submit beyond the availability date of a Canvas Assignment.

Currently on users with the role of Instructor or Guest Instructor in a course have the ability to upload a file on a student's behalf for a Canvas Assignment. All other course and system admin roles cannot submit a file on behalf of students.

Note: Submitting a file on behalf of a student to a Canvas Assignment that is also using Turnitin circumnavigates a student's requirement of accepting that they are submitting their work to Turnitin.

In your Canvas course, navigate to your course Gradebook section.
You may only upload a file to a Canvas Assignment that has been configured to accept " File Uploads " in the settings.
Select the Gradebook cell for the student and click the Grade Detail Tray icon .

From the Grade Detail Tray that opens on the right-hand side for that student, click the " Submit for Student " button.

In the " Upload File " picker box that opens, drag and drop or search your computer for the student's file that you want to submit on their behalf.
Click the Trash Can icon to the right of the file name to remove it from being submitted.
When all files have been selected in the picker box, click the " Submit " button to add the files to the Canvas Assignment on behalf of your student.

When viewing the documents submitted in the SpeedGrader, the timestamp will specify who submitted the files .

For more information please email [email protected] .

Assignments, speedgrader, google apps / canvas collaborations, course settings, new quizzes.

Starting summer semester 2024, Discussions and Announcements in Canvas will look a bit different and include some new features. Check out our Canvas Discussions and Announcements Redesign support page for a full list of what’s changing, feature comparison chart and video, and user guides.

Submit Assignment on Behalf of Student is now available. Instructors can submit a file to Canvas Assignments that are set to allow file uploads on behalf of a student in their course’s Gradebook. The submission will include a timestamp as well as the teachers name who submitted the file on behalf of the student. The instructor can also submit multiple files at a time for a single student, and submit beyond the availability date of a Canvas Assignment.

This feature will only work for newly created assignments. It does not retroactively work on past assignments. Also, it will not work with third-party assignment tools ( Turnitin External App ) that do not use the native Canvas Assignment file upload function and process.

Randomize list of students in SpeedGrader . By default, the SpeedGrader student list arranges student names alphabetically by last name. For easier grading, you can sort the student list by student name (alphabetically), submission date, by submission status, and now you can view the students in a random order.

Multi-Select Gradebook Filters are now available for teachers and TAs and can display graded activities by module, assignment group, status, submission, start/end dates or any combination of these options. Multiple filters can be applied at the same time. Check out our support article on how to Filter and Arrange Grade Columns in the Canvas Gradebook for more information.

Canvas has decided NOT to deprecate the Google Apps LTI tool after all, as it was originally planned for June 2024. Canvas does not plan any future development with the Google Apps LTI tool (the tech behind the “old” collaborations option. As a result, we encourage folks to transition to Google Assignments LTI 1.3 when using the collaborations tool in Canvas .

Removal of More Options Link

In Course Settings, the ‘More Options’ link at the bottom of the page has been removed to allow the additional options remain displayed on the page. This update improves the user experience by reducing steps needed to access additional course setting options.

Course Dates, Term Dates and Section Dates Display

Canvas New Quizzes at Georgetown are not available to instructors by default. If you are interesting in exploring New Quizzes we recommend you check out the support articles on How New Quizzes compares to Classic Quizzes and How to enable New Quizzes in your Canvas course .

Build on Last Attempt

In New Quizzes, instructors can allow students to build on their last attempt of a quiz by reattempting incorrectly answered questions. When this feature is enabled, students can only view questions marked with incorrect answers, all other questions are hidden. Students can reattempt incorrectly answered questions until the answer is marked correct in SpeedGrader or they run out of attempts. Students who get all questions correct will not have the option to reattempt.

Answer Frequency Summary tables

You can generate and view reports for a quiz created in New Quizzes. The reports available in New Quizzes are the Quiz and Item Analysis and the Outcomes Analysis. The Quiz and Item Analysis reports include statistics for the entire quiz and individual items. The Outcomes Analysis report includes outcome mastery statistics for all students who took the quiz.

In the Item Analysis Report , the Answer Frequency Summary tables display the total number of correct responses, incorrect responses, and no responses for the following question types:

Multiple Choice
Multiple Answer
True or False

This update provides additional information on specific question types for instructors to evaluate student responses and provide appropriate intervention. Learn more about New Quizzes Item Analysis Reports and other Quiz reports available in Canvas .

CSV download support for the Quiz and Item Analysis

You can now download reports for a quiz created in New Quizzes. Learn how to generate reports and download them as a CSV file .

Item Banks Shared in Course Copy

Grades and records

Grade posting faqs.

My son/daughter/best friend is technically proficient and has offered to help me during a really busy time by entering and posting my students' grades for me. I can just give him/her my ASURITE UserID and password. Is that permissible?

Please remember that student records, specifically including grades and ID numbers, are protected both by the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA, also known as the Buckley Amendment),, as amended, and by university policy. If your son/daughter/best friend is your employed TA, it is appropriate. If your son/daughter/best friend is not affiliated with the university in any official capacity, it would be inappropriate and perhaps unlawful for him/her to assist you in any way with the grading process.

More information is available at these websites: FERPA University Policy

It's against university policy to share userids and passwords .

Why do we have deadline dates?

As part of each end-of-the-semester processing, important academic decisions are made about students, particularly undergraduates. To ensure that correct decisions are made in such areas as eAdvisor, Deans list, financial aid eligibility, probation/disqualification, etc, it is vital that all grades be posted on time so they can be factored into this processing.

Additionally, failure to post grades impacts a student's financial aid. The financial aid office reviews academic records to determine aid renewal as well as whether students earned the aid disbursed to them. A blank grade can mean that a student's award will not be renewed. It can also mean the student must return aid they received for the term, resulting in a bill on their student account.

I don't know if I have an ASURITE UserID. How can I find out?

If you are able to get into the system far enough to get to your grade roster you have already successfully signed on using your ASURITE UserID and password. Although most TAs will already have an ASURITE for their own student purposes, they can obtain one by following the instructions here . Reminder: Protect your password and change it regularly.

Why should I protect my password and change it regularly?

Your ASURITE UserID and password are the keys to entering grades. Student information, particularly IDs and grades, are protected by the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, (FERPA, also known at the Buckley Amendment). Following appropriate security measures will help to keep the institution compliant with this federal legislation.

My TA cannot access the system to enter his breakout section grades. How does she/he get in?

Your TA must have an ASURITE UserID and password . Your TA can gain access to the roster to enter or post grades only if he/she is listed on the class as in instructor or teaching assistant. Please contact your department's class scheduler to add your teaching assistant as instructor or teaching assistant. Remind your TA to protect his/her userid and password, and to change the password regularly.

Grades and Grade Selection

After I post them, how soon will my students be able to view their grades?

If you selected the "Post Tonight" status, grades will be posted to the students' transcript in an overnight batch process. If you select the "Complete" status and then click on the "Post" button, grades will post immediately to the student student's transcript. (Note that the "Complete" option is only available if all grades for all students have been entered.

How can I avoid re-entering all of my students grades, when I already have them recorded in Canvas or in another format?

A file import feature is already available. See instructions on your grade roster and/or the Grading Job Aid for more information.

I want to assign a grade that is not offered in the drop down list next to the student's name. How do I enter the correct grade?

The drop down list presents all of the applicable grade options from which you may select this student's grade. These options are pre-determined according to how your department set up the class, and/or how the student initially registered. For example, a student who registered for credit may not be given an audit grade; a student who registered using the audit option may not be given a letter grade, etc. If you believe you have a valid reason for assigning a grade that is not presented in the drop down list, please consult with your department's Roster Contact person.

My class is offered pass/fail, but I don't see that option in the grades offered for me to choose from. What do I do?

Pass/Fail is a grading option that students select individually at the time of registration. If you are not offering the complete array of grade choices (A+,A,A-,B+,B,B-,C+,C,D,E,I,Y), you need to inform your students at the start of the semester, preferably on your syllabus, that they will be graded on that basis. For more information on grading options in light of the Novel Coronavirus situation for spring 2020, see https://eoss.asu.edu/health/announcements/coronavirus/faqs#students-academic-faq .

I am assigning a grade of "I" Incomplete for a student in my class. Will I be able to come back to the roster system after he/she has completed the coursework to post the actual grade?

Posting a grade of "I"; implies that you have already met with the student and jointly filled out the Request for Grade of Incomplete form and agreed upon the work that is to be finished in order to successfully complete your class. After you have submitted the "I," you will be able to change the grade using Request Grade Change button on the grade roster.

What grade should I assign if a student stopped attending class or never attended class, but remained enrolled?

If the student did not drop or withdraw from the course and is still on your grade roster at the time you assign final grades, you should submit the grade they earned based on the graded work they earned at that point. If it is a failing grade, please post a grade of "EU" if they stopped participating or "EN" if they never participated.

Why do we have a grade of "EN"?

The "EN" grade stands for "Failing Never Participated" and should be used to indicate that a student has never participated in an academically related activity in the course. Like many other large institutions, ASU does not take attendance and is not required to do so. However, for federal financial aid purposes, we must determine if a student participated in all courses for which they received federal aid. When a student does not participate, the financial aid office must recalculate the student's aid eligibility.

Why do we have a grade of "EU"?

The "EU" grade stands for "Failing Did Not Complete" and should be used when a student began participation in a course but did not complete the course and never officially withdrew. The EU grade should be used when, in the opinion of the instructor, the student's completed assignments, course activities or both were insufficient to make normal evaluation of academic performance possible because the student stopped participating in the course. Federal financial aid rules require that we have the ability to differentiate between those students who complete the course but failed and those students who failed the course because they started but did not complete the course.

When should I assign an "EN" grade and "E" grade versus the "EU" grade?

Use the EN grade if a student never participated in the course.
Use the E grade if a student participated and completed your course, but failed to earn a passing grade.
Use the EU grade if the student participated in your course but later stopped participating, and completed some assignments and/or course activities that were insufficient to make normal evaluation of academic performance possible.

The following guidelines are how the U.S. Department of Education defines participation in academically related activities. If a student engages in at least one of the following activities in your course(s) they would not receive the "EN" grade:

Physically attending a class where there is opportunity for interaction between instructors and student;
Submitting an academic assignment;
Taking an exam, an interactive tutorial, or computer assisted instruction;
Attending an institution assigned study group
Participating in an online discussion on academic matter; and
Initiating contact with a faculty member after the course has begun to ask a question related to the academic area being studied in the course.

Note: Logging into an online class is not sufficient, by itself, to constitute participation in an academically related activity.

If a student fails a class after exceeding the number of allowed absences, would the assignment of the EU grade be appropriate?

Assigning an EU grade is appropriate if the student: (1) has met the participation criteria outlined above and (2) did not complete enough assignments or course activities to allow normal evaluation of academic performance. Failure based on an attendance policy does not, by itself, warrant an EU grade.

Two students in my class were caught cheating on the final exam. I want to assign grades of "XE" for academic dishonesty, but the XE is not offered in the drop down list. How do I assign an "XE" grade?

The "XE" grade may be assigned only in accordance with ASU's Student Academic Integrity Policy, and not as part of the normal end of the semester grading process. You have two options. You may either assign failing grades or you may not report any grade for these two students. Then, following application of the Academic Integrity Policy, you may submit an Authorization for Change of Grade form, changing the E or NR to XE. Note that the change form must include an appropriate notation to indicate that the Student Academic Integrity Policy has been followed.

The system tells me the window has closed for posting final grades via this web application. How do I submit my students' grades now?

A very lengthy window is kept open for posting final grades to accommodate classes that are scheduled outside the normal semester calendar. You are encouraged to post grades during the open window. To submit grades after the final grades period is over, use the Request Grade Change button on the grade roster.

Roster Contact Person and Information

What is a Roster Contact Person and how can I find out who is mine?

A Roster Contact is a person who has been identified by your department/school as an individual and who is available to help you with grade entry. Here are two ways to find yours: Ask your departmental office staff to tell you who serves in this capacity for your department. You can also go to the Grading Information and Resources for Faculty and Staff web page , click on List of Roster Contacts, select your college or school and scroll to your academic department listing.

How to track student progress

Effective teachers don’t just deliver quality educational opportunities — they also diligently track student progress to measure results. Tracking progress benefits both students and teachers. Students can see how they’re doing in various subjects, and teachers can see which of their teaching approaches are working and where they might need to make adjustments.

Of course, tracking is necessary to ensure you meet state standards, but checking off whether you’ve covered curriculum requirements doesn’t necessarily mean that your students are learning the required skills. Tracking student growth lets you know how and when to adjust information as you teach to make sure students are actually learning.

When your students are performing well, for example, you can move forward in the lessons to keep the group engaged. If you see that students aren’t mastering the skills, then you can slow the schedule to review the necessary lessons. Keeping track of performance data gives you the ability to respond quickly and optimize your students’ education.

Student progress tracking also indicates when it’s time to celebrate a student’s successes. It’s important not to miss opportunities to recognize when and how a student has improved.

Conduct student progress reports seamlessly on any device with Jotform .

Best practices for student progress tracking

For the best results, design your tracking system according to your classroom’s needs and your organizational style. Find the balance between collecting the most relevant information and making the system simple enough that you can stay consistent with regular updates.

In addition to collecting data for your own purposes, look for ways to communicate the results to your students. When students can see the information you’re tracking, it can help motivate them to improve their performance. Encourage them to track their personal progress.

Once you’ve created a student tracking system and you’re proactively recording student data, you’ll start to see trends over time. Consider adding a reminder on your calendar so that you have a dedicated time each week to update the data and evaluate your students’ performance.

For an insightful look into the future of higher education, explore “ 8 Top Trends in Higher Education to Watch in 2024 ” on Jotform’s blog.

What should you track in the classroom?

Don’t just adopt a generic tracking system. Customize your system according to the students’ grade level, the goals for the school year, and the content you’re teaching.

Here are some examples of data you might collect when tracking student progress:

Test and quiz scores
Homework completion rates
Assignment scores
Number of reading hours
Behavior assessments
Assessments of students’ knowledge and abilities before instruction

The key to success is making sure your student tracking forms are always up to date.

What to look for in a tracking system

When deciding how you’ll track student progress, make sure the system you select is simple and easy to maintain. You’ve already got enough on your to-do list with planning lessons, grading, meeting with parents, and taking care of the many other tasks that fill your school days.

Additionally, you need a student tracking system that consolidates data into an easy-to-understand format. Look for a system that allows you to enter data on forms or spreadsheets and then analyze and review that information in reports.

Clipboards and paper binders can be burdensome because they require a lot of manual work to collect and analyze data. Instead, look for a digital system that combines everything into tables and summaries.

Not only will these reporting formats make it easy for you to understand the information, but you’ll also have shareable PDF documents to use during conversations with parents and other educators.

How Jotform can help with student tracking

Jotform is an effective solution for tracking student progress. The forms allow you to customize your tracking system and optimize the information you gather to get the most useful insights about each student.

Jotform offers a variety of templates for forms, tables, and PDFs. Each template is customizable to match your unique needs. Consider using the student progress tracking sheet , student progress report form , and student progress evaluation form for your classroom. You can share the information you gather through Jotform, or you can export the data through third-party integrations.

These online school forms for teachers are user-friendly, and Jotform offers teachers a 50 percent educator discount. Data-collection and analysis features make it simple for teachers and educators to gather information with ease.
