Activity owners/editors (aka the teachers) can see student progress in real-time and get alerts from Sparky when students need help, even before they submit their sessions for feedback and/or grading.
Where to view live updates
These live updates are visible on the activity overview page. This monitoring comes in two parts:
- "Needs Attention" alerts
- Live session viewing
"Needs attention" alerts (Live)
These flags are visible to activity owners when students express confusion, ask for help during sessions, or fail to engage meaningfully during sessions.
Teachers can click on a specific alert to see that student's work so far and the message that caused Flint to trigger the "Needs attention" alert.
You can dismiss the alerts once you've addressed the concern or deemed it not an issue.
You can view all alerts, open and dismissed by clicking "View all" on the activity overivew page.
Live session list (Live)
The table of sessions will update as student responses come in and are submitted.
You can click into any of these sessions to see the conversation so far, no matter if it's still in progress or complete. The sidebar also helps you navigate between sessions really quickly!
Important Notes
- Only activity owners can see these live updates
- Students can only see their own sessions, not their classmates' sessions.
- "Needs attention" comments are hidden from students both on the activity overview page and within their session.
