Fifteen minutes on the platform

Lesson ten. You will set up a short weekly routine: a quick look at the platform, then time with the students who need you.

You have two hours a week. About fifteen minutes go to the platform. Most of the rest goes to your students.

Pick one day for your check, and keep the same day every week.

Start on your home page. Look at Grade In Progress, and at how many students have not logged in yet.

Then open your class dashboard and scroll once through the class. Look for the four signs: an old last login, almost nothing done, red activities, and a grade under sixty-six.

Check Grading - Pending on your home page. If answers are waiting, press Choose on the student's row in the dashboard, then Grade Questions.

If you have more time, or something looks wrong, go deeper: View Details, Course Progress and Login History, as in lessons six and eight.

End the check with a short list: each name, and what you saw.

Spend the rest of your time with the students on your list, in class or by message. One short talk each: what is hard, and what they will do this week.

Every week or two, ask the whole class what was hard and what helped. Write the answers down: they go into your report.

You are done when you have a day for your check, a list of names after it, and a short talk planned with each of them.
