The purpose of the 'Shark Challenge' test is to work
out where each student should start in Supershark. Supershark has built-in automatic
progression and uses the 'Wordshark' course of word lists.
The test should not take too long but if the student reaches the main
part of the test, but doesn’t complete it, this isn't a problem as the program will resume the test when the student next logs in - so that they can pick up from where they left off.
1. Select the ‘Set Work’ tab from the top menu bar2. Select ‘Change Level – Supershark'3. Select the student required by ‘ticking’ the box to the right of their name4. ‘Wordshark Course’ will appear on the right-hand panel; select ‘Next step’ (lower right on screen)5. The list of units will appear on the left hand panel – Scroll down till you see ‘CURRENT’ beside a Unit to see the present position. Click on the new required unit – later or earlier in the course6.This will become highlighted in grey, and the word lists in this unit are shown on the right hand side7. Click 'Submit' (lower right on screen)8. When prompted to reset the starting point, click ‘Yes’9. The next screen will confirm, in green 'Reset starting point for Supershark details updated successfully' . You can now choose to make changes for other students too if you like.
Ideally, you should do this BEFORE the
student first logs on (but you can also do this if the student/s have already started the Shark Challenge placement test but haven't completed it)
