Teacher Dashboard data
In order to provide this summarized data, Buzz assesses it in the following ways by default:
-
Teacher responsiveness in grading activities for each course falls into one of three color categories:
- Green means the teacher has graded all submitted, gradable items within 2 days or less.
- Yellow means one or more submitted, gradable items have gone 3 or more days ungraded.
- Red means one or more submitted, gradable items have gone 6 or more days ungraded.
- Aggregated Student performance for each course falls into one of three color categories:
- Green means that, in aggregate, a course's students are performing above 10% of the minimum grade for the course.
- Yellow means that, in aggregate, a course's students have failed in 1 of their last five submissions or they are within 10% of failing the course.
- Red means that, in aggregate, a course's students have failed 2 of their last five submissions or they are failing the course.
- Aggregated Student pace for each course falls into one of three color categories:
- Green means that, in aggregate, a course's students are submitting all gradable items on time or that less than 10% are past due.
- Yellow means that, in aggregate, a course's students have 10% or more of gradable items past due.
- Red means that, in aggregate, a course's students have 30% or more of gradable items past due.
Change Teacher Dashboard data defaults
If you want to change these thresholds to meet your organization's standards:
- Open the vertical menu in the toolbar of Domain Details.
- Select Domain Settings..
- Open the Text editor from the toolbar.
- Add the following code to the Domain Customization window within the
customizationtags:
<enrollmentmetrics>
<performance>
<score red="0" yellow="0.25"/>
<direction count="5" red="2" yellow="1"/>
</performance>
<pace>
<late red="0.3" yellow="0.15"/>
<activity red="15" yellow="8" range="false"/>
</pace>
<responsiveness red="5" yellow="3"/>
<completion red="0.8" yellow="0.9"/>
<rollup redweight="4" yellowweight="1" red="0.3" yellow="0.1"/>
</enrollmentmetrics>This code represents the enrollmentmetrics element and it specifies the parameters for the data shown on the Teacher Dashboard and elsewhere in Buzz. Each value is optional, and if not otherwise specified, the defaults outlined above are used.
- Edit the relevant values to meet your standards (see table).
- Save.
