Automated Formative Assessments to Give Timely and Targeted Feedback Professor Kimberly Jackson and her colleagues use auto-graded practice tests in Canvas and ALEKS. Students can receive immediate feedback, rather than waiting on their professor to grade the quiz and offer feedback. The immediacy of feedback allows students to quickly identify which concepts they will need to revisit before the exam. Digital Resources Canvas and ALEKS Grade Syncing ALEKS can be synchronized with Canvas to utilize autograding features between courseware and LMSes. See the video for how grading can be synchronized. Watch Video Digital Enablement Professors may choose to provide online practice to ensure students receive immediate feedback. This allows students to quickly assess their knowledge and identify areas where they need further study or practice while also reducing the grading workload for professors and teaching assistants.
