We are excited to share some new updates to the reports in our educator tools with you. If you’re a tutor, teacher, or administrator who works with us, you may have already noticed a few changes. If not, you can see them by logging into your account. If you don’t yet work with us, and are interested in learning more about what we do for schools, shoot our sales team an email.
Highlights
There are now built-in class averages on many pages, so you can quickly get a sense of how your students are doing overall. Here’s an example of what it looks like while reviewing specific sections.
The section report (my personal favorite!) is now downloadable among other improvements. Selecting the three stacked lines in the top right of the chart will allow download a csv of this data.
And homework progress reports are now more easily accessible, with the information you’re most interested in such as who completed the assignment, how well they did, and so forth.
Let us know if you’d like to set up a time to review the educator tools, look at your students’ data, or run through any of the changes, and we would love to connect! We always want to hear your ideas and insights, as we strive to continually improve the tools available to you. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us, either by sending a quick email with your idea or setting up a call to discuss.
