Readings & Resources for Instructors: Student Engagement

Introduction

This guide covers Readings & Resources features that facilitate and help monitor student engagement.

  • Viewing student usage
  • Annotating with social reading

Viewing Student Usage

The Analytics icon is displayed on the right pane of every list.

 

To view the student usage analytics:

1. Select the Analytics icon.
2. From the List tab, you can view the list usage or any item usage by section. It is also possible to filter usage to a specific section or item.

Social Reading

You can add annotations and highlights to PDFs that are embedded in citations. The user can select whether their annotation should be public or private (annotation is only visible to the user who added the annotation). 

 

 

 

When annotation is Set to Public, the name of the person who wrote the comment, and the date and time of the comment are visible in the annotation menu. Public comments are searchable in the annotations menu. Each student's name appears in a different color above their comment, and instructor comments appear with an instructor icon next to their name. Instructors can Set as Private, Edit, or Delete public annotations.
