Understanding the class dashboard

Use the class dashboard to monitor the status of your students in terms of their predicted success. Your students appear in a list of 10 per page.

For each student, a Success Index prediction displays for the current week. The success index is comprised of a score from 0-10 and a trend sign. The score represents the predicted end grade for the student, rounded to the nearest whole number (for example, predicted grades of 78% or 82% would both round to 8).

There are three risk categories that can be identified by the color and shape of their representative trend signs. The levels are determined during the setup of the predictive model used to generate the predictions, and can only be changed by system administrators. The default risk categories are:

Trend arrows inside the trend signs indicate whether predictions are negative or positive compared to the previous week. An upwards trend can indicate that interventions to improve a student's success rates were successful, while a downwards trend can indicate a student in need of intervention.

You can filter the class dashboard based on success levels by clicking on a specific category in the Filter by area.

You can email all students or a specific category of students by filtering to the category of students you want to email, then clicking Email Students.

If there are specific students you want to remember to follow up with (for example, all students in the At Risk category), you can pin them by clicking the Pin icon beside their name. This serves as a visual reminder that you need to contact them.
