The Block Detail Drawer: per-student responses

Click any question in the educator view to see exactly what every student answered. Useful for spotting misconceptions.

Written by Kat Morgan

When you open a lesson assignment in your classroom view, you'll see a list of every interactive block in the lesson. Click any block and a drawer opens on the right with the per-student data for that question.

Finding the Blocks tab

From the sidebar, click into a classroom, then into the lesson assignment. The assignment activity page opens with three tabs: Students, Blocks, Insights. Click Blocks.

The Photosynthesis Basics assignment view with 4 of 25 submissions, 37% class average, and the Students tab selected

The Blocks tab shows every interactive block in the lesson, with the block type, average mark and submission count at a glance.

Opening the drawer

Click any row. A drawer slides in from the right with the per-student data for that question.

What the drawer shows

For each question type, the drawer surfaces what's most useful:

  • Multiple Choice / True / False: Each student's pick, with the correct answer flagged. Below, the full options list with which one each student chose.

  • Select All Correct: Each student's selected set, plus a heat map of which options got picked most.

  • Match / Resequence: Each student's submitted pairing or ordering, alongside the correct answer.

  • Free Response / Long Answer: Each student's full text answer with the auto-mark, manual mark and feedback. Plus a Summary tab and a Sample tab to surface the strongest answer.

  • Reflection: Each student's response (these aren't graded, but you can still scan them for understanding).

For Free Response and Long Answer questions, the drawer adds a third Sample tab that lets you pin a strong answer to share with the class or use as exemplar work.

Switching between blocks

The header of the drawer has previous/next arrows and a dropdown listing every block in the lesson. You can step through every question's data without closing the drawer.

Filtering and sorting

Filter responses by:

  • Status (submitted, not submitted, late)

  • Mark range (e.g. show me everyone below 50%)

  • Specific answer (e.g. show me everyone who picked option B)

What it's good for

The drawer is built for the question every teacher actually wants to ask: who got this wrong, and how?

  • Spot the option that half the class picked when only one was right. That's a misconception to address.

  • Group students by their wrong answer for a targeted follow-up.

  • Surface the long-answer responses that the auto-marker flagged as low confidence, so you can manually mark or remark them.
