There are four types of student tasks that you can track and give feedback on by using the student access feature.

Reading assignments: If you want to ask your students to read a page of the Inthinking website, then creating a reading assignment is the solution.  Your teacher's subscription will automatically record when each student has done this reading assignment and how long they spent on the page.

Writing assignments: Perhaps you want students to write a comment after studying a page of resources.  By setting a writing assignment, the student's work is recorded in your "mark book" where you give feedback. Great also for practice SAQs.

Discussion assignments: Use a discussion assignment rather than a writing assignment if collaboration is required. You can create a discussion where students respond to an article, debrief a movie clip or discuss approaches to an IB question.  You could post three studies and ask them which one they think has the best evidence for a psychological question - or which has the best methodology.

Multiple choice quizzes: Although IB does not assess psychology by multiple-choice questions, these are a great way to get students to think deeply about terminology and revise both research and theories.  The students' marks are automatically recorded in your mark book.  First, you go to the bank of questions (qBank) to create a quiz. Select a topic or a sub-topic and you are presented with a list of questions. Re-order the questions if you wish, then give a name to your quiz.  Once created you can use the quiz in an assignment with any of your groups.

There are several features of the site that can be used with students to help them continue to master the content and skill of the course while they are home away from school.  These include:

• The online textbook  There are several "ATL" boxes throughout the textbook which you could assign as "writing assignments" for your students.  This is a better way to assess understanding than simply noting whether they have done the reading.
• Several of the teaching ideas can be shared with students, giving them a task that they can submit to you for assessment.
• Under "revision" in each unit, students have presentations that outline keep content for each learning objective.
• Key studies can be used as the basis for SAQ assessments.
• Writing samples are available for students.  Have them do some of the "SAQ marking" or "ERQ marking" exercises and then have them rewrite parts of a weaker essay or SAQ to improve the overall quality.
• Share videos with students from the lesson plans by creating a discussion for them to respond to a question.
• Have students develop personalized study guides
