Open the Interactions tab
Some IB DP Group 6 subjects have an Interactions component. Classes linked to these subjects show an extra Interactions tab.
The tab shows the class roster. Each student has three sections: Section A, Section B and Process portfolio. Students are grouped by teacher, and you can switch teacher with the dropdown.
Add an interaction
-
Select a student to see their interactions, then select Add Interaction.
Enter the Title, Date & Time and Comment. These are required.
Choose the Section, and a Phase: Internal Use Only, Inquiry, Action or Reflection.
-
Select Add Interaction. Students can also add a student comment.
Internal Use Only interactions are not printed on the CAF PDF.
To generate a CAF PDF of a student's interactions, select the PDF icon next to their name.
Set up the IA task
-
Open the class IA page. The first time, you see the setup page for the First Assessment IA task.
Enter the task title and the due date and time.
-
Check the settings. Levels (from the student levels set in the class Members page) and Assessment Options are pre-selected and cannot be changed. Leave Assessment Type as it is unless you need to change it.
Scroll past the criteria rubrics to choose when students can submit, turn on the Turnitin integration if you use it, and set any other options.
Select Create Task.
Collect submissions
Once the IA task is set up, the IA page shows the First Assessment IA tasks and every student in the class, with criteria enabled.
- Next to each student's name, you can view and annotate their submission, or generate a Teacher Comments and Criteria PDF.
- To export all Teacher Comments and Criteria PDFs for the task at once, select Export Teacher Files in the right sidebar.
- Students submit from the class IA page, or by selecting the task in their Calendar or Tasks & Deadlines pages.
By default, task results for all IA tasks are hidden from students.
Grade IA tasks
You can grade a submission in two ways:
- Enter criteria marks and comments in the task's Gradebook section on the IA page.
- Open the submission in Annotate and Grade and grade it there.
