Atomic Assessments - Creating a Test Assessment (Student Tech Module) [UW-Madison]

This document is meant to be used in combination with the Atomic Assessments Student Tech Module. It describes how to create a Test Assessment.

Creating this assessment will allow you to verify that your students can see the assessment on their computer.

Creating a Canvas Page

From the left side menu bar, navigate to Pages.
Then, in the upper left, select View All Pages
Next, create a new Page by hitting the +Page button in the upper right corner.
Set the title of the page to be how you want it. Here is our suggestion:
Type the following text into the editor:

“This course uses a tool called Atomic Assessments to deliver various activities. Below is a test assessment. If you can see it, please answer the question.”

To add the Atomic Assessment, click on the plug icon from the editor bar. Then, select View All.
In the All Apps window, select Atomic Assessments

A new window will appear. Select New Assignment from the button in the upper right corner.
Type a descriptive title for the assignment, so you know what it is tied to. Then select Create Assignment.
This step is critical! UNcheck Create gradebook entry. This setting cannot be changed once the assignment is created. Since this is a test assignment, do NOT add this to the gradebook.

In the area that says “[This is the stem]”, replace the text with:

Then, replace the True and False with Yes and No, respectively.

Select Save.
Once it's done saving, return to Settings in the upper left.
Finally, hit Save on this screen to save the assessment to the page.
