I have been a long time fan of the assessment features in Schoology for multiple reasons. I use it regularly for formal tests, for introductions to lessons, and for maps/document analysis. The pull down options for answers help narrow focus towards responses I am looking for in Global. In specific topics Global history there are sometimes very fine details that separate correct from incorrect responses. Small details that students over look. By narrowing response choices in these topical areas I find it an innate way to narrow the focus to what they are missing.
The drag and drop feature is super beneficial in Global when it comes to document usage and analysis. I have used it for simple map labeling to political cartoon analysis. I love to give students ideas or symbols to look for in cartoons or images and they match it to the representation. All of these features increase student interaction with the historical material making it more meaningful and engaging.
