Monitoring an Assessment

After you have created and assigned your assessment monitor it from either the Assessment Instances List Page or the Assessment View Page.

Both pages will present you with the Assessment Instances Table. From there you can follow the progress done by your audience and check or score each attempt when you expand each row. Each row represents an assigment instance and the nested table that appears when you expand it shows you the assessment instance attempts.
