What is Pacing?

Pacing is a feature that lets teachers manage which problems students can view and work on within an assignment or quiz. By selectively locking or unlocking specific problems, teachers can customize practice to target key skills at the right moments. This approach prevents students from feeling overwhelmed and promotes focused, effective learning.

Where Does Pacing Work?

Pacing works both in assignment mode and quiz mode. Teachers can manage pacing directly within an open assignment or use the Live Activity dashboard for real-time control over students’ access.

Requirements
To use pacing, students need to be on the iPad app version 3.22.0 or later.

How to Manage Pacing

Create and open the assignment you want to manage.

Click the assignment for the Heatmap and click on Pace Students button on the top right corner.

Uncheck the problems you want to temporarily hide from students. Problems marked with a check (✓) are available to students.

If all problems are checked, pacing is not active and all problems are accessible.

If any problems are unchecked, pacing is active, and only the selected problems are visible to students.
