This article is a quick look at what you can see and do when you're facilitating in iQualify. We've tried to keep this as a one-page overview, so we've included links out to more information throughout if you need it.

Remember each course can be set up a little differently by your organisation or manager, so you might not see exactly everything we've listed here.

To get a feel for iQualify, it's a good idea to understand first what it's like for learners. Read Learning with iQualify to see an overview of what options learners have available to them.

What you'll see as a facilitator is very similar, with just the odd difference here and there, like Facilitate instead of Continue the course as learners see.

If you ever get stuck getting around, you can see loads of different tours available by choosing Help when you're in iQualify. Find out where Help is located and the tours available.

The Class Console has information at a glance in the tiles (pictured below). And also contains Learner, Marking, Pulse and Insight tabs to allow you to dive deeper into the data.

The Marking tab is a handy way to jump straight to the tasks within your course and see which tasks need marking (the default order puts the tasks needing marking right at the top for you).

If you have other people supporting you in marking or moderation, check out adding a coach for post-moderation or reviewer for pre-moderation.

Note: Marking and feedback looks a little different if you're in a legacy activities and assessment course.

Use the Learners tab of the Class Console to quickly see key information such as: progress, tasks completed, comments added, and badge status.

Plus, selecting either of the task buttons (non-assessed or assessed) will take you straight to where you can mark tasks for that learner.

You can also see learners' previous attempts which helps record growth over time.

Insights gives you a view of learner activity in the class for a range of options and compares individual learners alongside averages for the class.

In some courses, you'll be able to make announcements and facilitate forum-like discussions.

Note: The specifics of exactly what you'll have available depend on how your learning organisation has set up the activation.

The Talk channels are like forums and let you add a post to a particular topic. Channels can be one-way (announcement only) or two-way where learners can initiate posts as well.

If there's a new post, you'll see a green dot.

We've got articles for an Overview of Talk channels, ideas for using current events to keep learners engaged in channels and a template for a facilitation plan which can save you time.

Learners have the option to report any social posts (Talk channels, in-page discussion, social notes). When a learner reports a post, the post will become hidden for them and you will see it show in your Moderation channel.

All posts that have been reported will appear in your Moderation channel for you to decide to Allow or Remove, and provide a reason. As with Likes, Reports are anonymous and the person who wrote the post won’t be notified.

As a facilitator, you will just see the option to hide a post (as you don’t need to report it to yourself!)

Note: If you choose to allow a post, the post will still remain hidden for the original reporter.

You can send out a real-time poll (Pulse) for learners to complete over a set amount of time.

Pulses can be:

The marking list and talk channel dots described above are ways to get straight to task submissions and posts. But you'll also get notified about certain actions.

You can set up different preferences for when you'll get an email (talk channel posts, assessed task submissions etc.) via your profile or subscribing to a talk channel.

In iQualify we've created a few different roles as we know in many organisations, the people who build the courses or enrol learners in classes aren't necessarily the ones teaching. You can find out which roles can do what in Overview of roles in iQualify.

It's also useful to know that the activation (class) that facilitators are added to, is not the editable content (course). Watch the video below to see the difference.

As a facilitator, you will have access to the courses you are facilitating as soon as you have been added. This will allow you to set up anything you require prior to the learners joining. Coaches are also able to access courses early.

Note: Learners will not be able to access a course until the course has started.

When logged into iQualify, you can access tours and our Knowledgebase from the Help menu. Our tours will guide you step by step and show you around.
