Advanced Assessment - Essay with Rich Text

Advanced Assessments in Otus give educators flexible ways to measure student learning, including essay questions with rich text capabilities.  In this Otus Live PD session, we explore how to create essay items using the Rich Text Editor, allowing students to format their responses with tools such as bold, italics, bullet points, and more. You will learn how to build the question, adjust settings, and review responses efficiently within the grading workflow.
