As a Teacher / Teacher Support, you'll be assigned to some Classrooms.
Activity Tab
Overview
1. After logging in, you'll land on the Activity Screen. Here you can see several pieces of information:
a) The Filter Droplist
b) The Main Information:
- The Legends at the top: explains what the colors mean.
- The last date a Student took a test in certain Class
- Formative Test Data
- Summative Test Data

Using the Filter Droplists
1. If you need to filter the Activity of a specific Classroom, use the Dropdown Menus at the top of the page.
2. After you've specified the Filter Criteria, click "Apply" button.
The Status Boxes Explained
1. If a Test is Enabled for Monitor, then it'll be counted in the Enabled Tests Box, regardless of whether the Students have taken the Tests or not.
2. If a Test is Disabled, we'll check if Students have taken this Test or not. If the Test has Scores, it'll be counted under Completed Tests Box. Otherwise, it'll be counted under Remaining Tests Box.
3. To understand these Boxes, we'll look at an example of "J Math 4" Classroom below:
4. Here at "J Math 4" Classroom, at the beginning of School Year, only Summative Test A1 has Scores, and it is also Disabled. So it is counted as 1 Completed Summative. The other 2 Tests will be counted as 2 Remaining Summatives.
5. (If the Summative Test A1 is otherwise Enabled, we'll consider it an On-going Test. And even though it has Scores, it'll be counted as 1 Enabled Summative)
6. There are totally 34 Formative Tests. Here, we have 3 Enabled Formatives and 3 Completed Formatives. Hence, there are 28 Remaining Formatives.
7. Adding all the numbers in 4 & 6, we have: 3 Enabled Formatives; 1 Completed Summative, 3 Completed Formatives; 2 Remaining Summatives, 28 Remaining Formatives.
8. The First Box will display Number of Students currently logged in.
9. As the School Year progresses, the number of Completed Tests should increase, and the number of Remaining Tests should decrease.
