Forced Subject Knowledge Assessments
What is a Forced SKA?
A forced Subject Knowledge Assessment, similar to a forced Initial Assessment, is designed to ensure that the correct course progression is maintained by preventing a student from accessing other sections until the SKA is completed.
A forced Subject Knowledge Assessment (SKA) is applied at the subject level. For example, if enforced for Maths, it will apply to all Maths courses. If the student completes the SKA in one of their courses within this subject, it will still remain enforced for other courses within the same subject.
If the student has both a forced Initial Assessment (IA) and a forced Subject Knowledge Assessment (SKA), the forced IA must be completed first.
Please note that while an SKA is enforced for a course, all topics and subsections will be inaccessible. The only exception to this is mock exams, which the student can complete at any time.
How to force an SKA:
A Subject Knowledge Assessment (SKA) can be enforced at any time, even if the student has already begun the course. It can be set as mandatory either at the time of student creation or at a later date from the “View Student” page.
- On Student Creation:
- After Student Creation:
- You can also follow the same steps to remove Forced SKAs, simply untick instead.
The Student Side:
When a student logs in and has a currently enforced SKA, their course will appear similar to the below image. With all topics locked, and styled accordingly.
When a student attempts to access one of these locked topics, a modal will appear, instructing them to complete the SKA and providing a link for further action. Similar to below.
