Assessments in Stile add marks to help you measure student learning.
Stile Lessons are not assessed by default. This means that students can reflect and revise their answers immediately after submitting. Questions have no mark values when a Lesson is not assessed. This is to align with pedagogical best practices on formative vs. summative assessment.
Stile adds marks to each question when you make the Lesson assessed. The student cannot take back their work after submission. Answers will only be visible after you release them for students to see. Learn more about releasing answers and feedback here.

Enable or disable Assessment mode on a Lesson
Assessment mode can be enabled or disabled on any Lesson in Stile. Quizzes, check-ins and end of unit tests from the Stile Science library are already set up as assessments.
Within the Lesson, the Assessed label can be found in the top left corner of the cover image. The label will be white when the Lesson is not assessed, and it will be orange when the Lesson is assessed. This label is visible to both students and teachers, but only teachers can see the Change option.
Click the Change button on the label to switch assessment modes. This will open a pop-up offering the options of Not assessed and Assessed, along with descriptions of each. Click the mode you want to use and then click the Save button.
How Assessments look to the teacher
In the Markbook, Assessments are labeled with an orange stripe. The student's percentile grade is displayed after the work is submitted or collected. You can filter the Markbook to show Assessments only. Learn more here.
Assessments appear on the Lessons page with a subtle assessed tag next to the Lesson's title. When releasing all Lessons in a Folder, you can choose to include Assessments or to keep them hidden. Learn more about releasing Lessons and assessments here.
How Assessments look to the student
Students will see the same assessed tag next to the Lesson that the teacher sees on the Lessons page. In the example image above, the teacher released feedback on the student's completed Check-in. The student can view their mark by hovering their mouse cursor over the tick mark.
Students will also see their overall percentile grade at the top of the Lesson after you release answers. Their total marks will be visible in the Summary feedback section at the bottom of the page .
