June 27, 2023

Digital assessments, particularly in high school districts, schools, and courses, offer teachers an incredible opportunity to customize learning experiences and provide individualized support.


By leveraging all-in-one platforms like Derivita, teachers can design math assessments that not only gauge students' understanding, but also pinpoint their strengths and weaknesses and pave the way for targeted instruction and improved outcomes.


We all love a personalized learning experience, let's dive in to see how a digital assessment platform can help teachers create that for high school students:

Assess Individual Skills


Traditional pen-and-paper assessments often fail to capture the nuances of students' abilities. However, with digital assessments, educators can go beyond multiple-choice questions and delve into a wide range of interactive question types. Whether it's fill-in-the-blank exercises, virtual manipulatives, or dynamic graphing tools, the possibilities are endless. By tailoring assessments to students' unique learning styles and preferences, educators can gain deeper insights into their understanding of key concepts.



Identify Learning Gaps


Digital assessments enable real-time data collection and analysis, allowing educators to identify learning gaps promptly. By leveraging sophisticated algorithms, these assessments generate comprehensive reports highlighting areas where students excel and areas that require additional support. Armed with this information, teachers can customize instruction, provide targeted resources, and offer one-on-one support to ensure each and every student receives the assistance and attention they both deserve and need.



Enhanced Feedback and Reflection


Digital assessments empower teachers to offer immediate feedback, reinforcing positive learning behaviors, and addressing misconceptions quickly and easily. Students receive detailed explanations and step-by-step solutions as they work through an assessment. This helps the student understand their mistakes and guide them towards improvement. Additionally, digital assessment platforms include opportunities for self-reflection, allowing students to get a visual understanding of their own progress through a course or with a specific topic, set personal goals, and monitor their own growth over time.


By leveraging technological solutions, educators can tailor education to individual students through identifying learning gaps, providing targeted support, and fostering a deeper understanding of concepts. Online assessments carry the potential to transform the educational experience by empowering each high school student to reach their full potential.
