Certain subjects in the IB DP Group 6 subject group have an Interactions component. ManageBac+ shows an extra Interactions tab in classes linked to these subjects.
Navigating to the Interactions tab
By navigating to the Interactions tab, a class roster for that class will be shown. Each student will have three sections, Section A, Section B, and Process portfolio. Students are also organised by their respective teacher and can be selected using the drop down option.
Adding Interactions
When a student is selected, their interactions (if any) will be shown. Interactions can be added by selecting Add Interaction.
When adding a new Interaction, the fields Title, Date & Time, and Comment are required before proceeding. Different sections can be selected under Section. Under Phase, you can select Internal Use Only, Inquiry, Action, or Reflection. Please note that Internal Use Only interactions cannot be printed on the CAF PDF.
Students are also able to add a Student comment. Interactions can be added by selecting Add Interaction.
Interactions can be generated into a CAF PDF by selecting the PDF icon next to each student's name.
Adding First Assessment IA Tasks
When first opening the IA page of a Arts class, teachers will see the configuration page to create the First Assessment IA tasks.
Set the appropriate Task title and the due date and time for this Task.
Levels (based on levels of students assigned to the class and marked via the Members page in the class) and Assessment Options are pre-selected and cannot be changed. Assessment Type should not be changed, but can be changed if needed.
Scroll past the enabled Criteria rubrics to select when students can submit to this task as well as enable a possible Turnitin integration or set other additional options for the task.
Click Create Task to configure the IA First Assessment task for the class.
Collecting First Assessment Submissions for IA
Once the First Assessment IA Task has been configured, the IA page of the class will show the FA IA tasks and all students linked to the Class for the Task with Criteria enabled.
Teachers can then either view and annotate the student submission for each student, or generate a Teacher Comments and Criteria PDF per student next to the student's name.
Teachers can also export all Teacher Comments and Criteria PDF in bulk for the Task from the right sidebar by clicking Export Teacher Files.
By default the Task Results for all IA tasks are hidden from student view.
Students can submit to the configured First Assessment IA task from the IA page in the Class or by selecting the Task from their Calendar or Tasks & Deadlines pages.
Grading First Assessment IA Tasks
Teachers have two ways to assess the student submission for the IA Tasks. They can either enter Criteria marks and Comments in the Gradebook section of the Task via the IA page. Or they can open the Annotate and Grade view of the submission and then grade the submission that way.
