2. FORMATIVE ACTIVITIES


The below refers to reviewing of formative results on Macci. Full final result after final exams are released to the provider portal as per the timetable.


Having access to student formative results in order to monitor performance is integral in being able to detect the need for and implement student academic support. Macci allows providers - both face-to-face and distance - to access the results for formative assessments. This will enable providers to ascertain where a student's skills or knowledge may be lacking.


Providers will be able to access student results on Macci for the following auto-marked formative assessments:

  • Learning Phase 1:     Assignment 1 and Test 1
  • Learning Phase 2:     Assignment 2 and Test 2


Assignment 3 is manual marked and results are released at the same time as the final exam results (see the ICB timetable for relevant dates).

In the details report you can click on any one of the automarked activities to review your students attempts at this activity. 






Once in the activity, scroll down and click on "Attempts". 



This will give you a list of all the students who attempted this activity. 


Information included in this view:

 - Date of completion

 - Duration of attempt
