The Otus Community Assessment Exchange is a shared assessment folder within Otus where educators can explore and share points-based, simple assessments created by other Otus users. It’s designed to encourage collaboration and idea-sharing across the Otus community.

All assessments in the library are user-created, meaning they were built by fellow educators, not by the Otus team. Because of this, assessments are not reviewed or verified for accuracy, validity, or alignment to standards. We strongly recommend reviewing each assessment’s contents to ensure it meets your instructional goals before assigning it to students.


🗂️ Access Assessments

Request access to the Community Assessment Exchange by one of the following -

  1. Option 1: Request via in-app chat tool when logged into Otus

  2. Option 2: Email support@otus.com to request access

  3. Option 3: Contact an administrator to request access from Otus


🤝 Share Assessments

Sharing your assessments strengthens the Otus educator community by giving other teachers access to ideas, formats, and instructional approaches they can use in their classrooms. When you share an assessment, it’s added to the Otus Community Assessment Exchange, where fellow educators can discover, adapt, and learn from your work. By contributing, you’re helping grow a collaborative folder that saves time, sparks inspiration, and connects educators across schools and districts.
