What Are Assessments in Kodable Basics?
Assessments in Kodable Basics are built right into the learning experience. As students complete missions and learn new coding concepts, they’ll encounter special levels with colorful stars (instead of the usual yellow ones) that check their understanding—no extra setup required.
Assessments help you:
Measure student understanding without hints
Automatically provide extra practice when needed
See who’s mastering key coding concepts at a glance
How Assessments Work
Course Missions
In Kodable Basics, students explore galaxies and complete interactive missions that introduce and reinforce coding concepts. Before each assessment, they move through adaptive practice levels that adjust to their performance.
Students earn one of four coding badges as they progress:
Beginner
Intermediate
Advanced
Mastery
Assessment Levels
At the end of each mission, students face an assessment level—a challenge that checks for understanding of the concept just learned.
Here’s what makes these assessments unique:
No hints – Ensures students solve independently, giving you an honest snapshot of their understanding.
All-stars scoring – Students must earn all stars in the level to demonstrate mastery.
If a student doesn’t pass, Kodable automatically provides Free Play mode with extra practice.
