This feature provides teachers with a range of benefits, including:
Preventing students from jumping ahead: Teachers can effectively prevent students from rushing ahead, ensuring that they stay on track. For example, performance tasks are hidden by default to prevent students from seeing those assessments while learning.
Enhancing cognitive load management: Teachers can also exercise control over the sequence in which content is presented to students. This strategic approach helps in managing students' cognitive load, ensuring they grasp concepts in a logical and progressive manner.
Tailoring subject matter: Teachers can tailor the subject material to suit their instructional objectives. Unwanted or supplementary content can be effortlessly removed, providing a more streamlined and focused learning experience.
The Hide/Show feature grants teachers comprehensive control over Kognity and the overall student learning experience. Any piece of content you hide will correlate to all related content across the platform, including assignments.
To use this feature, follow these simple steps:
Click on your class.
Once you are on the Overview tab, locate and click on the 'Hide/show content' button.
An eye icon will be activated; click on the eye icon next to the specific unit, module, lesson or content option you wish to hide or show.
Finally, confirm your visibility changes by clicking on the 'Done' button.
Note that if you want to assign a hidden content option or lesson for students to complete, you must first "show" the content with the hide/show content feature before you can assign the lesson to your students.
If you have hidden content and you want to assign it to your students, follow the steps below:
On the overview page of your class, locate and click the 'Hide/show content' button.
Click the eye icon next to the piece of content you wish to show again to remove the / through the eye.
Once the content is shown, you can click the 'assign' button on the right hand side of the content option(s) you wish to create a book assignment for.
Once you've chosen the content option(s) for your book assignment, you can complete instructions, differentiation, and due date in your assignment basket on the top right corner of the platform.
