The Attendance Block shows the list of students in each team.

Notice the green-ticked avatar.

  • This means that Student 1 has Entered the specific activity.


Notice the gray-x avatar

  • This means that these students haven't entered this activity


BEST PRACTICES
Before starting the activity, ask the students to click Enter Test button . It is recommended to check the attendance block to see which students have entered the test (Greens), which would mean that they are online and can access to the test. Check-in with students who haven't entered the test (the gray colored ones) and see what might be causing delays.

Status

% Teams who may time out

"Teams-who-may-time-out" are teams who haven't answered all the questions in the activity (hence, showing 100%). The percentage bar will automatically decrease as teams/ students finish answering the test.

In this example:
5 out of 5 Teams in the section have not finished the test and are still in answering. These teams "may time-out" or might run out of time without finishing the test.

**BEST PRACTICES**
Check this progress bar together with the timer. If the timer almost out and the percentage bar is still high, then it might be a good idea to extend the timer.

% Teams who have answered all questions

"Teams-who-have-answered-all-questions" are teams who have saved an answer for all the questions in this activity. The percentage bar will automatically increase as teams finish answering the test (or has saved an answer for all questions).

In this example

1 our of 5 teams in the section has finished answering all the questions.

% Teams who have submitted

"Teams-who-have-submitted" are teams who has clicked the "Submit Test" button. It's the same as passing the test papers to the teacher. The percentage bar will automatically increase as teams submit their tests.

In this example, none of the teams have submitted yet.

ⓘ HERE are some useful information

If you see the red-bar "% Teams who may time out" still high and the timer is running out, it would be a good idea to extend the timer so that students would be able to keep answering the test.

The system automatically locks the student out once the timer is finished. Therefore, to avoid disruption in answering the activity, watch the red bar and decide whether you need to extend the timer or not.
