In this article, we will unpack InnerOrbit's “Archived” notification.

See what our new and updated questions mean for you and your assessments! 🎉

Why are questions in my assessment “Archived” on InnerOrbit?

The InnerOrbit Team is constantly gathering up-to-date research, educator feedback, and student data related to our assessments, just like any scientist would do! We leverage that information to archive some questions, revise some others, and create a boat-load of new items. These “phenomenal” new questions are more accessible, engaging, and aligned to the standards.

How can I find new questions?

When you see the archived notification in your assessments, follow the button to explore new questions! This will take you to all of the phenomena and questions for the same standard as your archived questions. From there, you can decide how you want to update your assessment.

How should I update my assessment?

After you explore the new and updated questions for your assessment, you have 3 options:

Option 1: Build a New Assessment

Jump right into creating a new assessment by retitling your original and starting fresh with the green "New Assessment" button!

  • This is the best option if multiple questions in your assessment are archived.

  • You'll still be able to see your original assessment so that you can compare it to the new one.

Option 2: Make a Copy and Add New Questions

Make a copy of your original assessment, delete the "archived" questions, and add new questions.

  • This is the best option if just a few questions in your assessment are archived.

  • You'll still be able to see your original assessment so that you can compare it to the new one.

Option 3: Revise Your Original Assessment

In your original assessment, click "Edit Quiz", delete the "archived" questions, and add new questions.

  • This is a good option if just a few questions in your assessment are archived.

  • Keep in mind that once you delete the "archived" questions from your assessment, you will no longer have access to them. You will not be able to find those "archived" questions on InnerOrbit.

Can I still use these questions?

You sure can! Just keep in mind that newer, updated questions on InnerOrbit are more accessible, engaging, and aligned to the standards. This means that our new questions will give more accurate student data than the “archived” questions.

What does this mean for my data?

Your assessment data from prior school years stays intact! Please keep in mind that our new questions will give you more accurate student data than the “archived” questions. This means you may see a shift in your student data from an old assessment to a new assessment.
