Are there pre-requisites for using Continuous Assessment?

• Student Portal (mandatory)

For online assessment and learning, students are required to be setup with Student Portal Accounts.

Go to Portal Console Setup > Student Access. The Sentral Authentication Providers system allows you to integrate student authentication into the portal with your existing school-based systems. If you are unsure about any of the settings or options here, it is strongly recommended you contact the Sentral Helpdesk before making changes.

Student Portal setup is easy as it relies on active directory or DOE authentication (Same sign on).

Once setup, schools then need to decide what modules and data student can access via their Portal.

Go to Access Controls > Students and click on the buttons and tick the relevant areas you wish to grant access and permission to for the students.

• Classes & Teachers (mandatory)

Ensure that teachers have access to their classes and student records are up to date in enrolments or you DOE/Catholic system.

• Parent Portal (optional)

Schools can opt to implement the Parent Portal so parents can view continuous assessment, be notified and receive an email when activity comments get published.
