This or That: A class wide knowledge check, each question has a standing and a floor exercise, so teachers can gauge if their class is retaining the information on a large scale, eg. If the majority of the class are on the ground, but the answer is incorrect, it may require a reteach.

Formative Quiz: At the bottom of each lesson there is a formative quiz that students can test their knowledge by answering 5 questions and receiving instant feedback after submitting. There is also a “Force Copy” button if teachers wanted to collect student answers for their grades.

Finally there is a which component This or That, where students decide which component different exercises are, this is intended to the penultimate activity before students finish with a 25 question summative assessment, again with instant feedback and force copy options.
