Creating a BioSig Assignment and Setting Module Requirements
Updated onArticleIn order for BioSig-ID to be successful, you will need to create a Canvas assignment using the external tool and require modules to be checking the students' ID validation in order to "unlock" an assessment.
For a 16-week or 14-week course, 3-5 BioSig-ID assignments is recommended:
- Place a BioSig-ID enrollment assignment in your Week 1/Course Orientation module to allow students to first create their BioSig-ID password (this can serve as your Smart Start attendance verification activity);
- Place one verification assignment in front of a low-stakes assignment early in the course to give students the opportunity to practice using the tool and work out any technical issues ahead of time; and
- Place 2-3 more verification assignments in front of higher-stakes assessments—spaced out evenly over the course of the term—to help them remember the BioSig-ID password they've created.
For courses that are 8 weeks or shorter, it is recommended the tool be used 2-3 times maximum: once for enrollment/Smart Start attendance verification, and again to unlock your major assessment(s).
