Performance assignments are also video responses, but those are shared only with the teacher. Teachers set the directions for the activity, the amount of time students have to prepare and record their response, as well as how many attempts they get for each. Teachers may give written and/or video feedback to the students, and grade on a proficiency scale using our proficiency-based rubric (for WL). All Performance assignments are teacher-graded.
Note - Live recording works best when using the Chrome browser.
