ScoreCenter Overview

When you view your SoftChalk lesson scores within the Jenzabar gradebook, you are using a SoftChalk feature called the ScoreCenter. In other words, you click on the name for your lesson in the assignments area of Jenzabar and you see the SoftChalk ScoreCenter interface but all the scores are also "plugged into" the Jenzabar gradebook. (In Jenzabar, students will also see their grades from SoftChalk lessons as well.)
IMPORTANT: To use the ScoreCenter feature, your Jenzabar administrator needs to configure your system to use this feature. See the section Jenzabar Administrator.
With the ScoreCenter feature, you can:

  • Determine which score is the grade for the student (i.e. first, highest, last or average score). (Attempts for all scores are viewable.)
  • Determine how many times a student can go into a lesson (unlimited times or a specific number of times)
  • Get detailed scoring information for individual students (i.e. what a student did on an activity and/or quiz items)
  • Change scores
  • Update your lesson in one place (SoftChalk Cloud) and link to it in multiple sections or courses.

  2. Remind your students to click Finish for each essay (see below).

You can modify the grade for the lesson based on the points you decide to give to the essay. For example, you may have a lesson worth 100 points including one essay worth 10 points. (You assigned the points under the Options tab for the essay and other items.) Let's say a student completes everything correctly, completes the essay, clicks the Finish button for the essay and then clicks the Finish button on the last page of the lesson to submit his or her score. At this stage, the student has a score of 90 out of 100 because you will need to evaluate the essay and assign points. You can go into the gradebook (i.e. ScoreCenter) and evaluate the essay and modify the score. You may want to provide feedback to the student on the essay by clicking the Feedback button within the attempt.
(You may want to explain the above process to your students; as mentioned, you also have the option to assign 0 points to an essay if you like.)

Collaborate with Other Instructors on SoftChalk Lessons

You can collaborate with other instructors to create your SoftChalk lessons using a SoftChalk Cloud account (or a trial SoftChalk Cloud account). Within SoftChalk Create, you can publish your lesson to your SoftChalk Cloud account. Another instructor [also using SoftChalk Create and a SoftChalk Cloud account (or a trial SoftChalk Cloud account)] can access and edit the lesson you published.
IMPORTANT: Simultaneous work in the same lesson is not supported. In other words, one person should be working on the lesson at a time. (If two or more people are making changes to the same lesson at the same time and saving the lesson to the cloud, they may end up overwriting each other's changes.)
For more details, see the section Collaborate with Other Instructors on SoftChalk Lessons in the SoftChalk Cloud Guide. (the URL is below)

Jenzabar Administrator

The steps below are for your Jenzabar administrator to enable the LTI/ScoreCenter feature for your Jenzabar server. For details on the LTI/ScoreCenter feature, see the section Scored Lessons (Cloud Users).
As a Jenzabar administrator, to use the ScoreCenter feature, you need to register with SoftChalk and configure the ScoreCenter for your system. IMPORTANT: Notice the domain for your tool will be softchalkcloud.com (do NOT enter https://www.softchalkcloud.com which appears in your email – Jenzabar just wants the domain name – softchalkcloud.com).

...

  1. Click Save your new tool (see below).

Print or Email Scores

Your students can print certificates of their scores and/or your students can email you within the lesson to send their scores. The basic steps are:

  1. Create scored quiz questions and/or activities within your SoftChalk lesson and assign points via the Options tab for each quiz question or activity.
  2. Add the email feature within your SoftChalk lesson. For SoftChalk 7 users, choose File/Package Lesson. (For SoftChalk 6 usersyour SoftChalk lesson. For SoftChalk Create, choose Properties/Lesson ReportingCertificates.)
  3. Make the appropriate selections under Student Options Properties/Lesson Certificates.
  4. On the last page of your lesson within the web browser (e.g. Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox or Safari), is an area for students to type their name or identifier and then click Email Score, Print Certificate and/or Print Score Summary. (You can preview your lesson on your local computer to see how this works.)
  5. For more details, please search on Options for Tracking Scores within the SoftChalk Create Guide.

With the email option, you will get an email from each student for each attempt the student made for the lesson. As mentioned previously, we recommend the use of the ScoreCenter feature as you won't have to manage individual emails.

In SoftChalk: Package a Lesson

  1. Within your lesson in SoftChalk Create, choose File/Package Lesson. Under Package type, choose Common Cartridge. Under Track score using choose None (see below). (We've tested using the Common Cartridge version 1.0, the other versions may work, but we haven't tested those versions.)


Within your lesson in SoftChalk 6 or lower, choose File/Package Lesson/Common Cartridge Format. (If this option is disabled, then save your lesson or open a lesson.)

  1. Your packaged file has your lesson name with a .zip extension. With SoftChalk Create, your .zip file is saved by default to your Documents area. With earlier versions of SoftChalk, the .zip file is saved within the lesson folder. (If your file extensions are not showing, you will not see the .zip at the end of the filename. Look for a folder with a zipper or package icon with your lesson name.) Notice the eye_anatomy_cc1-0.zip file in the image below.
