How do I create a document-based assessment?

In Mastery Connect you can create assessments from document-based sources and add a variety of question types. Teachers can create document-based formative assessments, and admins can create document-based formative and benchmark assessments.

Assessments can align to single or multiple standards and can be kept private, shared with your school, or across your district.
