When students complete a Learning Zone lesson in an assignment, their scores sync automatically. Here's how to review their work, understand the grading, and provide feedback.

How grading works

Learning Zone scores are based on completion percentage. When a student finishes a lesson, their completion percentage becomes their grade:

  • 100% completion = full points

  • 75% completion = 75% of the total points (e.g., 75 out of 100)

  • Scores sync automatically as students progress

Note: Scores from Learning Zone are final and cannot be manually changed in Teams Assignments or your LMS.

Review student submissions

  1. In Teams, navigate to your class team and select Assignments. In your LMS, open the assignment through Microsoft 365.

  2. Select the Learning Zone assignment.

  3. You'll see a list of students with their completion status and synced scores.

View the summary

The assignment detail view includes a summary of Learning Zone activity:

  1. Select a student's submission to open the detail view.

  2. The Summary View shows the student's Learning Zone score and progress, embedded directly in Teams Assignments or your LMS.

  3. To see more detail, select Open in Learning Zone to launch the Learning Zone app directly from the summary.

Add comments

You can provide feedback on any Learning Zone submission:

  1. Open the student's submission in the assignment detail view.

  2. Add your comments in the comments field.

  3. Comments are shared with the student when you return the assignment.

Tips

  • Scores update as students progress through the lesson — you don't need to wait for them to finish to see partial progress.

  • Due date enforcement happens in Teams Assignments or your LMS, not in Learning Zone. Students can still access the lesson after the due date if late turn-ins are allowed.

  • Learning Zone lessons work with individual assignments only, not group assignments.

  • If a student completes the lesson, the assignment is automatically turned in — you don't need to remind them.
