We're glad you asked. We have an entire page devoted to Credit Recovery if you want to see everything we have to offer.

How It Works

Step 1

If you create a classroom with credit recovery-enabled courses, you'll see this:

 

Step 2

Click the "Credit Recovery" option. When you do, you'll see this:

 

Step 3

Click "YES, take me to setup" and you'll be brought to the first steps of the classroom setup. On this page, you'll choose which units you want included in the credit recovery. (If you're not sure, you can preview the content.) Just uncheck the "Include" box if you don't want a specific unit included.

 

Step 4

When you're done, click continue. Then you'll get a couple screens where you'll pick some other settings for the course. Follow the instructions and click "Continue" each time.

 

 

Step 5

The last screen you'll see is the review page. You can review your options (and edit 'em if you've changed your mind).

 

Step 6

When you're done, you'll click "Complete."

Now that everything's set up, let's take a peek at what students will see when they enter the course. 

What Students See

Step 1

First, they're taken to a page that shows them what they need to do. They'll start by taking the Diagnostic for Unit 1.

Step 2

For each unit, students will take a multiple-choice, timed diagnostic which focuses on the key topics and standards of the unit and assesses whether or not they've mastered that material.

• Once students complete a diagnostic, they'll be notified whether they've passed the diagnostic and tested out of the unit, or whether the material needs to be recovered. If they need to recover the unit, we'll tell them what their next tasks are. Students will then need to go through the material and pass the unit test with a 70% score to prove mastery.
• If students pass the diagnostic with a 70% or higher score, they are notified that they have passed out of the unit and recovered their credit. Then we point them to the next diagnostics they'll need to complete, where they'll start the process over again for the next units.

Step 3

Teachers and students can view their progress and grades in our Gradebook. Here we show the scores for an individual student. You'll see this student has passed the Unit 1 diagnostic and recovered that unit.

Step 4

Once students have passed all units (either by successfully passing the diagnostic or by passing the unit test), they are notified that they have passed the course and recovered their credit. And they get some eye candy, to boot.
