Core Content
Each Core Content section covers a specific topic, such as Angles on Parallel Lines or Dividing Mixed Numbers. It is designed to check understanding of key concepts and fill any gaps in knowledge as efficiently as possible.
Intro video
Every section starts with a short video introducing the topic and walking through an example problem.
Adaptive difficulty
Questions start at a basic level. As students answer questions correctly, the difficulty increases. The section will end when the question limit is reached, which is typically between five and eight questions. More capable students will spend most of the section answering more difficult questions.
Get Help
On any question, students can click âGet Helpâ to enter âPractice Modeâ. This breaks the problem down into individual steps and tests students on the key aspect of each step. Students are taken all the way to the final answer so they can see exactly how the problem should be solved.
Applying whatâs been learnt
After completing a step-by-step walkthrough, students are given another question in the exact same format, just with different numbers. This time, there's no step-by-step walkthrough available, only a support video if they're stuck. If they get the question wrong, they can try again once more, before being taken through the walkthrough.
Exam Questions
After completing any Core Content sections in an assignment, students move on to exam-style questions to practise their exam technique.
Submitting workings
Rather than just entering a final answer, students are expected to write out their full workings on paper as they would in an exam, then submit a photo of them. Students who aren't able to take a photo can type their workings instead.
Automated marking
When a student submits their response to the question, their full workings and answer are automatically marked against a mark scheme as an examiner would. The student can then see exactly where they earned their marks and get a full analysis of their answer before progressing to the next question.
Sharing with your classes
After having chosen the Core Content and Exam Questions in the assignment, it needs to be shared with students so they can complete it.
Choosing classes
When creating an assignment, you will be prompted to choose the classes the assignment is for. If your school is synced, you will see your classes listed with the appropriate students in each class. Simply select the classes you wish to assign it to.
If your school is not synced and you have not manually created any classes, you will see a single class with 0 students, as shown below. Select that class. Students will be added to the class when they follow the assignment link (explained below).
Setting the due date
Give the assignment a name and set the start and due dates.
Sharing with students
Once the assignment has been created, any student in the classes it was assigned to will be notified via a push notification from the Seneca app as well as an email. An assignment link is also generated. You can copy the link and send it directly to students, or choose to share via Google Classroom, Microsoft Teams, or email. Selecting one of these options will take you straight to the chosen platform, where you can quickly distribute the assignment.
