Once your students have started working on an assignment, you can use the Heatmap to monitor their progress. The heatmap updates in real-time, so you can quickly identify any problems they’re struggling with and address them on the spot. Here's how it works:
Click anywhere on the white space of the assignment to view the results.
The Heatmap will show you how the students are doing. The heatmap fills in based on how much work the students have completed, and it updates in real-time. Here's what the colors and symbols mean:
Green = Correct on the first try
Yellow = Two or more attempts to get it right
Red = Incorrect answer
Eye = The student has viewed the answer
Grey = Solutions not yet submitted
Number = The number of times a student has submitted an answer
This provides you with a clear view of which students found the problems easy (e.g., Marie Curie, who may benefit from more challenging problems) and which ones struggled (e.g., Albert Einstein, who may need more practice on certain problems).
By examining specific problems, you can also identify areas where the entire class needs more practice.
To anonymize the data, click the hat and glasses icon to hide students' names.
To change the heatmap display order, click the sort button.
Click the problem number box at the top of the Heatmap to see all the students' solutions and answers for that specific problem.
You’ll notice that anonymous mode is on, hiding students’ names, but you can still see their results. To hide the results and only display student IDs, click the checkmark icon in the top right corner. All results will appear in blue, showing only "student #1" and so on.
Click on a student’s name in the Heatmap to see all of their answers and solutions for every problem in the assignment.
Click on an individual cell to view a specific student's solution for a particular problem. For example, if you want to see Erin’s solution for question #4, find her name in the Heatmap and check her answer.
In the bottom-right corner, you can play back a student’s solution. To the left of the solution, you’ll see two icons:
The pencil icon allows you to solve the problem.
The flag icon lets you report an error with the solution.
Common error refers to the recurring mistakes in the student solutions.
