Guide to PrepU/PassPoint Winter Release Features January 10, 2018

Create multiple new assignments with the same or different start/due dates Instructors creating a new assignment can assign it to multiple classes with the same or staggered start and end dates for each class. This saves time when you want to keep the assignment parameters the same for multiple classes. Start by setting up a Mastery Level, Question Collection or (PassPoint) Exam assignment as you normally do. When you reach the page for selecting classes for the assignment and other parameters, if you are selecting more than one class to receive the assignment you will see a new option appear that allows you to either keep the assignment “Available on” and “Due on” dates/times the same for each class, or change (stagger) those dates/times for some or all of the classes. Keeping the assignment dates/times the same for all classes selected (default setting): If you want to keep the assignment dates/times the same for all classes selected (default setting), you can fill in the desired “Available on” and “Due on” dates/times, which will be applied to the assignment for each class checked.) The examples below are for a Mastery Level assignment, but the choices and experiences are the same for each assignment type.)

Different assignment dates/times for the selected classes: Instructors making this selection can designate the “Available on” and “Due on” dates/times for each class checked. Each class is given its own customizable date/time settings.

Reproduce multiple assignments for one class, or one assignment for multiple classes You can use existing assignments to reproduce multiple assignments for one class or use one existing assignment to reproduce the same assignment for multiple classes. The primary purpose of this feature is to quickly replicate an assignment or assignments. Reproducing multiple assignments for one class: Navigate to Assignment Results (left navigation bar) on How’s My Class Doing? page …

Click on Manage Assignments.


Click on the checkboxes next to the assignments to be delivered to the class (note that the Edit and Delete options remain on this page) …

Click on the “Continue” button at the bottom of the list of assignments …

Select the class to which the assignments will be delivered. Only one class can be selected for multiple assignments. A note explains that the selected assignments retain their settings, but you can change the name of the assignments and the “Available on” and “Due on” dates/times.


Scroll down to make any changes to the “Available on” and “Due on” dates/times. As noted, changing the first assignment’s dates/times will duplicate the same dates/times for all other assignments selected. You also are able to customize the dates/times for each assignment. The assignment type – Mastery Level, Question Collection, Exam (PassPoint) – is listed above each assignment in bold italic typeface.

A message appears before the “Assign” button, explaining how to change specific parameters in each assignment.

Reproducing one assignment for multiple classes: Navigate to Assignment Results (left navigation bar) on How’s My Class Doing? page …

Click on Manage Assignments.


Click on the check box next to the assignment to be delivered to the classes (this example is from Lippincott NCLEX-RN PassPoint, so it also shows exam assignments) …

Click on the “Continue” button at the bottom of the list of assignments …

Select the classes to which the assignment will be delivered. When more than one class is selected, you see the same interface from “Create multiple new assignments with the same or staggered dates,” as described above, where the assignment’s “Available on” and Due on” dates/times can be replicated or modified for each class.

In addition to date/time settings, you also have the opportunity to change other assignment parameters according to the assignment type selected - Mastery Level, Question Collection or Exam (PassPoint).


Send a copy of Question Collection to a co-instructor

Co-instructors can share their Question Collections. Recipients of shared Question Collections can add or remove questions without affecting the sender’s original collection.

If you want to share a Question Collection with a co-instructor, open the collection and click on the “Manage” drop-down menu at the upper right. Then click on “Send copy to Co-Instructors.”

You will see a list of all co-instructors in your class. Those who have not already received a copy of the current collection will have check boxes next to their names. The instructor can check any of the boxes and click “Send.”

A confirmation message appears, stating that a copy has been sent to the selected Co-Instructor(s).

The instructor who receives the copy will see it listed by that same name under “My Collections” in the Question Library. It will be at the bottom of the scrolling list under a heading that bears your name. For example, if co-instructor Stephen LaRue sent a copy of “29 Sept” to you, it would look like this:


When a Co-Instructor receives a copy of a Question Collection from another Co-Instructor, that collection is no longer linked to the sender’s collection. The receiving Co-Instructor can edit or delete the collection without it affecting the original collection from the sender. The recipient of a collection can make a copy of the collection, rename it, and send it back to the instructor who sent it.

Real-time Mastery Level and Exam (PassPoint) reporting during assignments

You can now see student Mastery Levels in real time as the Mastery Level assignment is in progress, as well as at the completion of the assignment.

See the column that shows the “Current Mastery Level” for each student. This represents the students’ Mastery Levels at the time you are viewing the assignment.

Instructor option to give students ability to review Question Collection assignment answers before submitting them You can give students the option to review their answers before submitting them during a Question Collection assignment. What the instructor sees: You can choose this option when creating a Question Collection assignment (Manage Quizzing):


Below the checkbox is a notice reminding instructors that the review is part of any time limit set on the assignment: “Time limits set for the quiz will include the time for review; no extra time is allowed for the review.” What students see: Student taking a Question Collection assignment under this option will see an additional notice before starting the assignment, reminding them to allot time for the review:

When the instructor has chosen this option and sets a specific time limit on completing the

assignment once it is started, a notice appears below the timer on each question, reminding students that the review is included in the time limit.

Also when an instructor has chosen this option, students have the ability to flag questions while taking the assignment so the questions are highlighted during the review:


After submitting their final answer in the assignment, students quizzing under this option are delivered to a “Review Answers” page that shows a student’s answers for every question in the assignment. They can scroll and change any of the answers. Flagged question are highlighted. Timed assignments include a timer at the top of the review page.

When students are comfortable with their answers, they click the “SUBMIT FINAL ANSWERS” button. They then receive the same experience as they do when finishing a quiz without the review option.

IMPORTANT: Reviewing answers counts as time spent on a timed assignment and/or for then due date and time.

Student Mastery Level assignment results list assignment-related quizzes Students viewing their Mastery Level assignment results can see a list of the assignment-related quizzes they took, with each quiz providing a link to its Answer Key.

Students open the Assignments page, and click on a completed Mastery Level assignment. The results page includes a “View Assignment-Related Quizzes” button:

Question Collection Improvements Selecting groups of questions and adding them to a new or existing Question Collection You can select multiple questions from a filtered search of the Question Library and commit all of them at one time to a new or existing Question Collection. When you start filtering for questions in the Question Library, you will see that each question has a check box in the upper left corner of the question. You can pick one question or multiple questions in the filtered results by clicking on the question’s check box. If you want to select all of the questions in the filtered result, you can check the box in the upper left corner, which checks (or clears) the box in all of the questions. You can de-select a single question by unchecking the box for that question.


Once you have checked the boxes of all the questions you want for a collection, you click on the “Add to Collection” button located at the upper right of the filtered results. Clicking on this button gives you the choice to add the selected questions to an existing Question Collection or a newly created collection.

Create and edit a ‘draft’ list of questions before submitting them to a Question Collection

Using the above function for clicking on multiple questions, you can select and place multiple questions from filtered searches in a “preview display” called Selected Questions, where you can review and edit the list of questions before submitting them to a new or existing Question Collection.

1. Go to your Question Library and select a filter or filters to receive a list of questions. As above for selecting multiple questions for a Question Collection, choose as many questions as you like by clicking the check box in the upper left corner of each question.


2. If you are creating a “draft” list and want to preview it, click on the Selected Questions link at the top of your filtered results. You’ll see a number in the link that represents the number of questions you have checked at this point for preview.

Note: If you don’t care to view Selected Questions and like the questions you’ve selected without previewing them, just click on the Add to Collection box at the top right of your filtered results and add the questions to a new or existing Question Collection.

3. Once you’ve clicked on the Selected Questions link, you’ll see a list of all of the questions you checked. At this point, you can:

o Click on the Add to Collection

button at the top right of your selected questions, where you can add the questions to a new or existing Question Collection

o Remove any questions in your

preview list by clicking on the “Remove” button in the question you want to remove. If you click “Go Back” after removing a question, that removed question will no longer have a check mark in its check box. In other words, it has been de-selected in your filtered results

o Click “Go Back” to see your original filtered results. You can use the same results or

further filter them to add more questions to your Selected Questions. At any time, you can click on the Selected Questions link to see your current preview list. You can add that list to a Question Collection at any time by clicking the Add to Collection button.


o If you want to start over with your Selected Questions, click “Go Back” and clear all of the selected questions in your filtered results, or click on the “Reset Library Display” link at the top of the library filters.

Questions that exist in a Question Collection show an icon

Questions that are already part of a Question Collection show an icon, left, that, when clicked, delivers a pop-up, below, that shows the names of the instructor’s collection or collections in which it resides.

Mark questions as “Reviewed” for tracking and filtering

You can mark any question as “Reviewed” (right), then, while reviewing questions in the Question Library, you can filter your results (below), either by questions you have reviewed, or those you haven’t reviewed.

Clicking “Review Status” activates a pop-up, right, for selecting “reviewed” or “not reviewed” status. This feature serves as a reminder of questions you’ve already “seen” as you peruse the entire Question Library for questions to use in your assignments.
