Kami’s Question tool allows teachers to create autograding assessment questions and view the results in Class View. With this tool, you’ll be able to:
Choose from a variety of question types.
Set correct answers and assign points for them.
Test and interact with the questions before assigning them via your Learning Management System.
View autograded results of students’ work with the Class View feature.
Who can use the Question tool?
The Question tool is now available for teachers in Google Classroom, Canvas, and Schoology.
Creating a Question with the Question tool
Select Question from your Kami toolbar, then select Create from scratch on the right-hand panel.
Different types of questions you can create
You can choose from four question types: Multiple-Choice, Checkboxes, Short Answers, and Open-Ended.
Multiple Choice
In the questions settings, select the Multiple Choice option from the drop-down menu. Then, set the students' answer choice options.
Checkboxes
Checkboxes allow you to set multiple correct answers and give a point for each correct choice. Below is an example of how to set multiple answers for a single question.
Short Answer
Select the short answer option from the list, then type your question and answer key. You can add multiple answer keys.
✏️ Setting multiple answer keys for short answer questions is ideal because students may word their answers differently.
Using the Hint feature
If you're asking your students a particularly tricky question, you can offer them a helpful hint should they need it.
You can find the Hint feature in the settings menu, at the very bottom of each question.
Once the Settings are showing, you can find the toggle under Add hint. Add your hint here so your student can click on the light bulb icon next to the question to receive the hint, as shown below on the right-hand side of the screen:
Preview your question
Click the Binoculars button on the top navigation bar of the question panel.
In this mode, you can interact with the Questions like a student would.
Select an answer and click the View Results button to test the autograde feature.
Click the Exit button to return to edit.
Placing your question on the page
Select the Display on page option to place a question on the page. You can also click and drag the question from the Question Panel.
Once on the page, you can have it appear as a Full question or a Marker, which opens the full question in the Question panel when selected.
Assign through your Learning Management System
Google Classroom
Assign the document by clicking the Assign button on the top navigation bar.
Canvas and Schoology
For Canvas and Schoology, you should first save your document with the Questions you made to Google Drive or OneDrive.
Once the document is saved, create a Kami assignment directly in Canvas or Schoology and attach the document you saved. Once you assign this to your students, they'll have access to the document with the questions for them to answer.
Answer view with Questions via Kami Class View
Once students have turned in their work, access Class View to view the graded results in Kami. The Question tool has an answer system specifically designed for this purpose.
The answers section can be found at the top left-hand side of the Class View document. Your students' answers will be shown horizontally in rows beside each question, as seen below:
Multiple Choice and Dropdown
Single-answer questions:
If a student's answer matches the answer key exactly, it'll be graded as Correct.
Otherwise, it will be graded as Incorrect.
Multiple-answer questions:
If a student's answer matches all correct options exactly, it'll be graded as Correct, and full credits given.
If a student’s answer includes no correct option, it'll be graded as Incorrect, and no credit will be given.
If a student’s answer includes at least one incorrect option, it'll be graded as Inaccurate, and no credit will be given.
You can adjust the points manually as well.
Short Answer
If the Allow partial matches setting is not selected, student answers must be exactly the same as your answer key (the same word order, spelling, spacing, and punctuation).
When the Allow partial matches setting is selected, student answers can be partially correct. Naturally, if the student's answer is exactly the same as the answer key, it'll also be graded as correct.
You can adjust the points manually as well.
Update Work and the Question Tool
As of our October 2024 product update, Update Work now works with the Question tool in Google Classroom.
You can change any answer keys or remove questions from the document within Update All:
