STEMscopes Math Fall 2020 Updates

August 1, 2020

As the educational landscape shifts toward digital instruction, we’ve adapted our product to better fit your district’s distance-learning needs. Here’s a rundown of recent feature updates.

Direct Feedback

• Teachers can return assignments with their feedback or return blank assignments to individual students or the whole class. Teachers can also include a message explaining why they are returning an assignment.

Virtual Feedback

• Teachers can provide individual feedback and show students the correct answers on assignments. They may also make an assignment “view only” after the student has submitted answers.

Automated Responses

• Teachers can set up auto-release feedback.

Pause Lessons

• Teachers can pause and restart an assignment that may take more than one class session. They can pause it for students and resume during the next class period.

Simplified Grading

• The default-grade option makes grading easier and faster by allowing teachers to correct wrong answers instead of wasting time changing every individual question.

Easy-to-Find Resources

• Learning Resources activities can be searched by title.

Autosave

• The curriculum autosaves students’ work every 30 seconds.
