Formative & Interim Assessment

Accurate, actionable data is the key to identifying levels of student understanding and adjusting teaching and learning accordingly. With Canvas, it's easy to quickly gather the data via in-class and benchmark assessments so teachers and admins can get to the important part: using it.
