Personalize Learning with Worksheet’s Completion Settings 

As educators, we know that no two students learn exactly the same way. Some need extra time to process information, others thrive under time pressure, and many benefit from multiple attempts to demonstrate their understanding. Redmenta's completion settings aren't just technical features; they're your toolkit for creating truly personalized learning experiences that meet every student where they are.

In this comprehensive guide, we will explore how to leverage these powerful settings to transform your worksheets from one-size-fits-all assignments into dynamic, adaptive learning tools that support every learner in your classroom.

The Worksheet’s Completion Settings Toolkit

1. Number of attempts

With this setting, you can control how many times students can complete your worksheet. Learning is rarely linear. Some students grasp concepts immediately, while others need multiple opportunities to demonstrate their skills. By allowing multiple attempts, you're sending a powerful message: "I believe you can succeed."

These are the ways you can use this setting: 

• One attempt is perfect for formal assessments where you want to capture the first, most authentic response. 
• Multiple attempts encourage mastery learning — students can learn from mistakes and improve with each try. 
• For revision worksheets, allow unlimited attempts so students can practise without fear of penalty.

‍

2. Start period

This sets specific time frames when students can access and begin worksheets. Strategic timing can enhance learning outcomes and maintain classroom flow.

Smart strategies to use the “start period” setting: 

• For homework or revision, keep the window open for several days.
  
  
• For in-class tests, set a narrow time frame to ensure everyone starts around the same time.

‍

3. Display task points while filling

The “display task points while filling” decides if students see the maximum points for each task: 

• Show points when you want students to prioritise high-value questions during timed work.
  
  
• Hide points if you want equal focus on all tasks, not just the “big” ones.
  
  

4. Time limit 

The setting controls how much time students have to complete a worksheet after they start. I also:

• Creates exam-like conditions for formal assessments.
  
  
• Keeps activities focused and on-task for live sessions.

‍

5. Task order

This setting helps to randomize the order of tasks so each student sees them differently. It works best for quizzes and short-answer assessments, less so for sequential learning tasks. It also allows to: 

• Prevent students from sharing answers during live tests.
  
  
• Encourage independent thinking, since each student gets a unique sequence.

‍

6. Prevent stepping back after page breaks while filling

This setting prevents students from moving forward or backward in a multi-page worksheet. We suggest to use this setting mostly for summative assessments: in learning activities, students often benefit from revisiting earlier tasks.

The benefits of using this setting, it: 

• Reduces the chance of students sharing answers in timed tests.
  
  
• Keeps students’ focus on the task at hand.

‍

7. Personalise by Groups or Individuals

The best part? You can apply different settings to different students or groups. For example:

• Group A (Advanced students) → Fewer attempts, stricter time limits.
• Group B (Students needing support) → More attempts, extended deadlines.

This makes differentiation effortless while keeping everything in one place.

Putting It All Together

Before adjusting the worksheet’s completion settings on Redmenta, ask yourself the following questions to guide your choice: 

• Is this activity for practice, revision, or assessment?
  
  
• Do I want to support learning or check students’ skills?
  
  
• Are there students who need different conditions to succeed?
  
  

By thoughtfully combining these settings, you can create a learning environment that’s fair, engaging, and tailored to every student’s needs, and that’s the power of Redmenta.
