In this Mastery Connect release (July 1), Overview and Assessment dashboards provide admins with flexibility and insight into student Mastery performance and assessment results. Also, educators can align assignments and grade Canvas content to a standard from the Mastery Tracker. Additionally, educators can clone purchased items into a personal or district bank and then edit the content of those cloned items. And, admins and instructors can clone and re-align benchmark and formative item-based assessments.

Also, Mastery Connect introduces a new header and navigation experience for all users. Mastery Connect Teacher and Student mobile apps are removed from the iOS and Android app stores.

Mastery Connect Analytics

Overview and Assessment dashboards provide users with flexibility and insight into student Mastery performance and assessment results. This update allows districts to easily visualize student, class, school, and district progress toward standard mastery and adjust instructional practices based on data.

Overview Dashboard

The Overview Dashboard provides users with high-level data pertaining to districts, schools, and classes. The Overview dashboard displays general usage and Mastery information and is available to all roles.

Note: Different charts and data are available depending user role and permissions.

The Overview Dashboard provides high-level insights at the school and teacher-level. The dashboard contains:

The editable dashboard title

The option to filter the data

Number of students assessed

Number of standards assessed

Number of assessments administered

A pie chart that displays standards mastery data

A bar chart that displays subjects mastery data

An Assessments section that displays name, status, type, assessment name, average percentage correct, and a mastery data visual

A Schools section that displays school name, students assessed, standards assessed, and a mastery data visual

The Filter tray allows users to filter assessment results by scale, subjects, cores, class, curriculum map, school, and school year. Archived Data options are also available.

Users can also expand and select the filter choices for no score, assessment categories, gender, race, ethnicity, or group filters.

Note: School admins and teachers do not have access to the School filter.

Assessment Results Dashboard

Admins can view and filter Mastery Connect student assessment results in the analytics dashboard.

The Assessment Results dashboard is available to all roles, with differences in available charts and data depending on the user role. This dashboard displays information summaries and chart visualizations that summarize student data.

District admins can view assessment results for their district, school admins can view assessment results for their school, and teachers can view assessment results for their students.

For district admins, school admins, and teachers this dashboard contains:

The editable assessment title

The subject, core, and class that the assessment belongs to

The date of the most recent student submission attempt for the assessment

A Filter button to adjust dashboard filters

The dashboard also contains:

The number of students that have been assessed out of the total number of students who have the assessment available to them

The average student score

The percentage of all students whose scores fall into the mastery scoring range

A bar chart that displays the demographics of the students who completed the assessment

A pie chart that displays the mastery levels of the students who completed the assessment and the percentage of students who still need to take the assessment

District admins can view:

A list of students and additional data about the assessment associated with each student

A list of the schools that administered the assessment and additional data associated with the school

The standard(s) associated with the assessment and additional standard data

A list of the trackers that contain the assessment and additional associated tracker data

A breakdown of each question within the assessment and additional available data

Canvas Assignments to Mastery Tracker

Educators who use both Canvas and Mastery Connect can align assignments and grade Canvas content to a standard from the Mastery Tracker. Also, student scores can be entered directly in Canvas and translated to Mastery results in the tracker. This feature helps users who have both Mastery Connect and Canvas have access to assignments no matter the product in which it originated.

Note: Multiple standard alignments are not supported for Canvas assignments at this time.

Once saved, the standard aligned to the Canvas assignment displays in the Students tab on the Mastery Tracker page.

When assignment is saved in Canvas, it displays in the linked Mastery Tracker as a raw score assessment [1].

When the assignment is graded in Canvas, the scores are automatically imported into the Mastery Tracker assessment [2].

The imported Canvas assignment displays as an Assignment in the Type column of the Tracker Assessments tab.

The Completed column displays the number of students that have been graded out of all students in the course.

In the More Options menu, the Canvas Assignment link opens the assignment in the Canvas Assignments page. The Remove Assessment link removes the assessment from the tracker.

Users also have Reporting, Grade, and Tracker View options.

Note: Removing the assessment from the tracker will remove all scores from the Mastery Tracker.

Cloning Mastery Item Banks

Educators can clone items from third-party (paid) item banks and save and edit them in writeable item banks. This functionality provides educators with the flexibility to customize items to their district needs.

Items can be cloned from the item index, or from the item organizer in the assessment builder.

Select the third-party item bank link.

In the Destination Bank drop-down menu, select a destination bank.
Notes:

Admins can clone third-party items and add them to district item banks.

Third-party items that include passages display the passage warning. Third-party passages are the property of the publisher, and access can be revoked at any time.

The item displays in the new item bank and can be edited and saved.

Clone and Re-Align Assessments

Admins and instructors can clone and re-align benchmark and formative item-based assessments. This option allows users to easily create copies of assessments that are aligned to another subject, core, or class.

In the More menu for individual assessments, the Clone & Re-Align option allows users to clone the assessment to a new standard set.

If an item has a matching standard alignment in the selected standard set, the item will automatically select that standard.

If an item does not have an alignment in the standard set, but the appropriate permissions are in the original item bank, users can choose to add a standard alignment to the item.

These items that do not include the new standard alignment are labeled No Standard. To view a short description of available standards and align the item to the new standard, select a standard name in the Standard drop-down menu.

Finally, if the item does not have an alignment in the standard set, is from a bank that can't create or edit items, and the item cannot be cloned, then the item is removed from the cloned assessment with an alert indicating that it has been removed.

Mastery Connect Navigation

Mastery Connect introduces a new header and enhanced navigation experience for all users. This update provides a more cohesive user experience and creates uniformity across Instructure products.

The top-level navigation theme and organization is updated.

All secondary navigation is moved to drop-down components, with additional menu options as needed.

Reporting content options are housed in the Analytics drop-down menu.

The Trackers and Curriculum Maps pages utilize tabs to help make content more accessible.

The User menu is updated to include Pins.

Note: Community content is available in Profiles.

Mastery Connect Mobile Application Retirement

Mastery Connect Teacher and Student mobile apps are removed from the iOS and Android app stores. The apps are no longer available for download and will not receive any further updates.

Read product manager Cason's for additional information.
