Enter Answers helps teachers manually input and grade student responses. Manual entry might be necessary in cases where a student completes part of an assessment on paper or through another platform that does not communicate directly with Eduphoria. By entering answers into the system, teachers can ensure that they have digital records of student performance, which can be important for tracking progress and for administrative purposes.
Teachers can use Enter Answers after a student has submitted an assessment online or after their test results have been scanned. In this view, teachers can grade open-ended assessment questions, such as constructed response and text entry, and manually input student answers.
Note: Only the teacher of record can use Enter Answers on their assessments. You cannot access this feature from Proctor Panel.
