We're delighted to announce our new feature - Retrieval Practice 🎉
🔍 What is Retrieval Practice?
Retrieval practice is all about reinforcing what your students have learned. It's a powerful technique that involves recalling information from memory, which has been proven to boost long-term retention. Think of it as a mini maths workout for your brain!
A message from Craig:
Did you know that retrieval practice is most powerful once students have started to forget? But there is a sweet-spot, too long before the retrieval and the memory may be inaccessible. We have worked hard to create a spacing algorithm that re-surfaces questions at the perfect moment for your students
🎯 How Does It Work?
You can enable retrieval practice quizzes for your classes and schedule how often you'd like them to be set - either weekly, fortnightly, or monthly. Eedi will then automatically assign the quizzes for you based on your preferences.
These quizzes are made up of 7 questions that your students have already answered in previous topic quizzes.
Your students' results will update automatically on your account. As they start to answer questions in their quiz you'll see the question they were given, the answer they gave, and the written answer explanation that was shared with them.
The results allow you to see which areas your students may need to re-visit.
💪 How do I set Retrieval Practice quizzes for my class?
Before you can set up Retrieval Practice quizzes for your class, they must have 3 assignments already completed. Haven't done this yet? Find out how to set your class assignments here.
Once your class is eligible, you can assign retrieval practice quizzes by:
Selecting your class within the left-hand navigation panel.
On your Results page, click on the Retrieval Practice tab.
In the "Setup" section, you can choose the quiz Frequency and Start date.
Once chosen, click the "Assign" button.
🧑💻 How do students find their Retrieval Practice quizzes?
Retrieval Practice quizzes will appear in your students' accounts within their Assignments section - just as regular topic quizzes do.
✅ Viewing your student's results
As your students complete their Retrieval Practice quizzes, their results will be recorded and shared with you in real-time. To find their results head to your Results page > Retrieval Practice tab.
Here you'll see your students' completion rates, average scores, and their answers.
You can click on "View Answers" for any of your students to see which questions they were given, along with an explanation of the correct answer.
Note: Results recorded here are students' first answer attempt.
Completion section
There is also a Completion section where you can see if students have completed their weekly, fortnightly, or monthly quizzes, along with their overall average score and total questions answers.
