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

  1. From the left side menu bar, navigate to Pages.

  2. Then, in the upper left, select View All Pages

  3. Next, create a new Page by hitting the +Page button in the upper right corner.

  4. Set the title of the page to be how you want it. Here is our suggestion:
    "Page Title" field, with text: "Atomic Assessments Test Page"

  5. 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.”

Add the Atomic Assessment

  1. To add the Atomic Assessment, click on the plug icon from the editor bar. Then, select View All

  2. In the All Apps window, select Atomic Assessments
    All Apps window. Options displayed are Atomic Assessment and Box, with Atomic Assessments selected.

  1. A new window will appear. Select New Assignment from the button in the upper right corner.

  2. Type a descriptive title for the assignment, so you know what it is tied to. Then select Create Assignment
    New Assignment window, with field titled "Assignment Name". This field has text "Test Assignment" entered. There is a "Create Assignment" button positioned after the field.

  3. 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.
    Page shown after assignment is created. After "assignment name" field, there is a checkbox titled "Create Gradebook Entry". Uncheck this box.

Adding Content to the Atomic Assessment

  1. Next, select the Content tab. 
    "content" tab is displayed after "settings" tab

  2. From the Content menu, choose True or False. 
    "True or False" options are positioned after Multiple Choice-Standard options, and before Choice Matrix-Sandard options.

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

    Can you see this item? Great! Then you can keep the rest of this page for reference later!

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

  3. In the end, the assessment should look like the image below:
    "Compose question" field contains "Can you see this item..." text from item 3. After that, Multiple choice options field shows "show advanced accessibility options" checkbox, and two options titled "yes" and "no"

  4. Then, set the correct answer as Yes

  5. Select Save

  6. Once it's done saving, return to Settings in the upper left. 
    "Settings" tab is displayed before "content" tab

  7. Finally, hit Save on this screen to save the assessment to the page. 

  8. After the assessment has been created, scroll down to the bottom and enter the following message:

    If you didn't see an assessment above, please visit this KB article: General Troubleshooting for Learn@UW Tools

  1. Then, select Save & Publish in the bottom right.
    "Save & Publish" button is shown after the "Cancel" button, and before another "Save" button

  1. This is how the page should look to you when completed. 
    First line: View All Pages, front page, Published, edit, options. Second line: Atomic Assessments Test Page. 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. Four Atomic assessment buttons: edit, view, metrics, and options.
