Under the right column titled Teacher Assignments, you will find a remove option next to the Teacher Note. Simply click the remove link to un-assign.
Study Time
Study Time measures the active engagement in lessons, quizzes and practice tests. This report allows you to increase student participation by closely tracking study time and activity in any of the offline academies.
To view your students’ activity for one or all courses click the See Report button, or export the report to a spreadsheet. Click either the Export Total, Export Daily, or Export Details buttons.
-
Export Total will provide a spreadsheet version of the bar chart information on the screen.
-
Export Daily will break down the total study time by each day.
-
Export Details will download a spreadsheet with detailed student activity for each day.
Use the Who Hasn’t Logged In feature* to determine which students have not been studying.
From the Who Hasn’t Logged In window, select the time range for Account Created and Hasn’t Logged In to identify those students.
*For optimal results, it is suggested to use this feature weekly. Students are most likely to return to their studies if they know you are checking in on them.
