🧙‍♂️ Introducing Data Spell: Enhancing Data-Driven Assessments with Canvas Wizards

I'm excited to share a new tool I've developed for educators and data enthusiasts: Data Spell. This tool is designed to make creating and managing data-driven assessments simpler and more effective.

What is Data Spell?

Data Spell allows you to upload any CSV file and let your students generate a similar CSV with a randomised number of rows. This is ideal for creating dynamic and unique assessments tailored to each student.

Key Features:

• Effortless Setup: Upload your CSV file (e.g., weather data) and set your parameters with just a few clicks.
• Custom Sampling: Define the number of random rows for each student-generated file.
• Secure & Private: Files are securely stored and automatically deleted one year after the set close date.
• Easy Access: Students can access their customised data samples via a simple link, ensuring a smooth user experience.
• No Logins Required: Manage settings with just a four-digit PIN – keeping it simple and straightforward.

Why You'll Appreciate It:

• Boost Engagement: Create unique, personalised data sets for each student.
• Save Time: Automate the data sampling process and focus on your teaching.
• Flexibility: Set open and close dates for data access, ensuring timely assessments.

Case Study:

I'm using Data Spell with a Canvas Classic Quiz to create question groups that ensure that students get a unique experience when doing formative work in my quantitative skills workshops at the University of Liverpool.
