Create Assessments with Discovery Education Resources

Teachers can add Discovery Education assessments to their Infinite Campus assigmnets, as well.

Note: In order for students to see resources shared or assigned within Infinite Campus, they must be logged into Discovery Education. 

Partners who have any of our Techbook products - Math, Science, Social Studies - will see assessments appear in this option. If you do not have access to our Techbook products, you can create assessments in our Assessment Builder tool or in Studio (by adding assessment modules to a board or slideshow) and they will appear for sharing with students. 

To add a Discovery Education assessment, create an assignment from the Gradebook page, then:

• Click External Learning Tool to include a Discovery Education resource. 
• Select Discovery Education. 
• Select Find Assessments.  
• Select your desired assessment:
  • Techbook Partners should filter down to the course and concept to find the appropriate assessment (as shown below). 
  • Non-Techbook Partners should select from their own assessments at the top. 
• Click Embed+ on the resource. The resource will appear as a separate item in the module. 

Once students have completed the assessment, a teacher can open their Infinite Campus gradebook to see the grades. Grades can be adjusted in the gradebook as you would with any other Infinite Campus assignment. 

Student View 

Adding Discovery Education resources and assessments into Infinite Campus provides students a one-stop place to experience the content in engaging ways.  

Note: In order for students to see resources shared or assigned within Infinite Campus, they must be logged into Discovery Education. 

Viewing Resources 

When a student clicks on the resource from an assignment, the resource will open in a separate tab. Students can engage with the resource in that tab and then return to Infinite Campus, as necessary. 

Viewing Assessments

Assessments open in a separate tab. Students click Take Assessment to begin. They will move through the assessment and answer the questions. Once they are all answered, they will click Submit. This will take them to a results screen. They can review any computer-scored items. They can switch between the items to view their results. Additionally, wrong answers will display some remediation resources from inside Discovery Education to support the student in learning more about the topic. 

For assessments, the grade will automatically appear in the student and teacher gradebook.
