What is Pacing?
Pacing is a feature that lets teachers control which problems students can see and work on within an assignment or quiz. By selectively locking or unlocking specific problems, teachers can tailor student practice to focus on certain skills at the right time. This helps prevent students from getting overwhelmed and supports targeted learning.
Where Does Pacing Work?
Pacing applies both in assignment mode and quiz mode. Teachers can manage pacing directly from an open assignment or through the Live Activity dashboard, which provides real-time control over what students can access.
Requirements
To use pacing, students need to be on the iPad app version 3.22.0 or later.
