Content Update: Beta ELA Practice

Hey meyersjo! You can assign all the ELA content already, although it is still in beta format and will continue to evolve over the coming months. There's a walkthrough of the assignment process here: https://khanacademy.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000772311-How-do-I-create-assignments.

You can also send us more specific info about your situation via this form and we'll get you pointed in the right direction!

I am super excited. This is something I wish I had all year for my students.

Hi, How can I add this to my daughter's profile of things I want her to work on?

Hey, this looks great, but can't fid a way to assign the beta content to my students - specifically the 4th, 5th and 6th grade reading and vocabulary.

thanks!!

Hey Josh Ferreira! We've got a walkthrough of the assignment process here: https://khanacademy.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000772311-How-do-I-create-assignments. Heads up that ELA beta is only available through khanacademy.org right now, not in the Khan Academy app - we'll add courses to the app once they're out of beta later this year.

If you're still having trouble, can you send us some more info about what you're seeing/not seeing via this form?

Hi aliciairvin8282! Can you send us a little more info about what you'd like to do via this quick form? Want to make sure we're giving you the most relevant info for your situation :)

Hi Tom, Thanks for the reply.

Its not that simple - im really familiar with "assigning content" But while in the ELA content pages, there is no Assign section on the left hand side (like there is in other content pages). I did find one work around - start the activity myself and then a bar shows up at the top of the screen to assign it to my class. 

Thanks

I think this will help a few people!

Hi Josh Ferreira

Since the ELA Beta content is region based at the moment, there is no way to add it as a course for a specific class but you are totally right that you should be able to manually assign the content for it from your end. 

Here are the steps to do this: 

Step 1:
Go to the search bar at the upper left-hand side of your screen and type ELA Beta and click on the link. 

Step 2:
After you go to the page you can view the content, and then click on the topic that you want to assign content from.



Step 3: 
Once you have chosen the exercise you want, click on it and the following page will appear to assign the content to the corresponding class

Step 4: 
From here, you can choose which class you assign it to, the due date and if you assign it immediately or save for later use.

Step 5:
Click on assign or save to complete.

I hope this helps!

great! much clearer with your pictures. Thanks so much

I noticed that no high school courses have been added yet, when can we expect to see those? Also, will the Grammar course be added into the new ELA courses? And I know this is unrelated, but will we be getting any geography courses anytime soon?

Hi s442443 - we'll be adding our first unit of 9th grade reading and vocab content in the next few weeks, plus further units in the coming months. While we don't have a timeline on creating ELA content past 9th grade, it is something we hope to offer in future years. Answering your other questions: as you likely know already, the Grammar course lives under Arts & Humanities right now - we may move it to the ELA area in the future but again, we don't have a scheduled plan for that. Same story for geography: no plans currently, but it's something we'll continue to keep in mind for expanding our courses!

When will this most likely be available for students to use?

Madeline Shinn it's available for students to use now, over at https://www.khanacademy.org/ela!

If you or any students are having trouble accessing anything, drop us a line via this form and we'll be happy to help out :)

Alright thank you!

Thank you!

this is confusing 

Seems really easy.

Is there a way to add this to the course page of the kids dashboard??? I don’t see it as an option. This is difficult to have them get to it if it’s not in the dashboard

I have assigned the ELA to my students but I cannot see if they completed it or what their scores are.  How can I find that information?

IRENE,
I'm new student,and I see light in the courses I've started.
Appreciate.

Hi,
I am an adult high school teacher, and my course is taught in Spanish. Since the Reading part is only in English, is it possible to translate them and use the materials in my classes?
