Overall class performance data

Navigate to the monitor tab and click into a class grouping. Here you will see:


  • Class average on the lesson
  • Breakdown of class performance for each question (hover over the bar to view the question) 
  • Students’ ratings of the lesson

Individual student data

To view individual student performance on a bulb:

  3. Click on the lesson thumbnail to the left

Now you are on the “Question-by-Question Breakdown” page where you can see individual student data color-coded. 

Red: this student got the question wrong
Orange: this response has not been graded yet. It is either a FR question or a student has created an explanation for their incorrect answer. Click on it to assign a point value for the response or explanation. 
Green: the student got the answer correct. 

You can click on a student answer to view more details, including the time the student completed it. You can also see student rating of the lesson by clicking on the emoticon.
