# Assessment & feedback

> Use Edzo to gather evidence of learning, provide meaningful feedback, and inform next teaching steps.

## Assessment with Edzo

Assessment in Edzo is designed to support learning as it happens.

Rather than relying only on formal tests or grades, Edzo helps you see **how learners engage, attempt, and progress** through learning activities over time.

<Info>
  Assessment in Edzo focuses on evidence of learning: what learners try, how they respond, and how their understanding develops.

## Formative assessment in everyday learning

Edzo supports formative assessment as part of normal classroom practice.

You can:

* Review learner responses and attempts
* Observe patterns in engagement and progress
* Identify misconceptions early
* Adjust teaching while learning is still in progress

Assessment becomes ongoing and responsive, rather than something that happens only at the end.

## Using learning activities as assessment

Learning activities can serve both as instruction and assessment.

You might:

* Use an activity to check prior knowledge
* Assign practice activities to assess understanding
* Reassign or remix activities to probe deeper thinking

Because activities are interactive, assessment evidence is gathered naturally as learners work.

***

## Providing feedback to learners

Edzo supports timely and meaningful feedback.

You can:

* Review learner attempts and responses
* Use insights to guide conversations with learners
* Encourage reflection, persistence, and improvement

Feedback can focus on:

* Effort and strategy
* Understanding and misconceptions
* Progress over time

<Note>
  Feedback in Edzo is most effective when it helps learners understand their next steps.

## Supporting feedback without grades

Grades are not always necessary to support learning.

Edzo allows you to:

* Emphasise growth and progress
* Focus on qualitative feedback
* Reduce pressure associated with scores

This is especially useful in formative contexts, early years, and learning at home.

***

## Using insights to inform teaching

Assessment and feedback work best when they inform future teaching.

You can use Edzo insights to:

* Decide what to revisit or extend
* Group learners for targeted support
* Remix activities to address gaps
* Plan follow-up lessons with confidence

Insights help turn assessment into action.

***

## Sharing assessment information

Assessment information is shared appropriately within learning spaces.

* Teachers see assessment evidence for their classes
* Parents can follow progress and support learning at home
* Schools can maintain oversight according to permissions

Learning contexts remain clear and separate.

## In summary

<Success>
  Assessment and feedback in Edzo are learner-focused and growth-oriented.

  By using learning activities as evidence, tracking progress over time, and responding with thoughtful feedback, Edzo helps assessment become a natural part of learning.
