Flashcard Mode

What is Flashcard Mode?

  • Flashcard Mode allows you to conduct an assessment session using a second device (such as an iPad) that is logged into an account assigned to the same school.
  • This is ideal for in-person assessment: the pupil sees the flashcards on the second device while you mark their answers on your main device.

How to Use Flashcard Mode:

  1. Start the Assessment:

    • On your main device, begin a Reading assessment as usual.

    • In the assessment input view, click Flashcard Mode to start a shared session.

  2. Join the Session from Another Device:

    • On a second device (e.g., an iPad), log in with an account assigned to the same school.

    • If a session is in progress, you’ll see an Assessment session in progress card on the dashboard with a Join Session button.

    • Tap Join Session to show the flashcards on this device.

  3. Conduct the Assessment:

    • The session is synchronized between devices.
    • Show the second device to the pupil, and mark their responses on your main device.
    • All navigation and grading actions are reflected in real time on both devices.

Key Points:

  • Both devices must be logged into accounts assigned to the same school.
  • Only one device can be the session “owner” (the one that started the session).
  • This mode is ideal for face-to-face assessment, allowing the teacher to move freely and interact directly with the pupil.
