Your Teacher Dashboard
Dashboard is the first item in the left sidebar and the page you see after you sign in. It refreshes by itself every minute.
Before You Have a Class
If you have no classes yet, the dashboard shows Welcome to Limudi with:
- Create your first class, which opens the dialog to create a class.
- A link to My Classes.
- Import from Google Classroom and Import from Canvas, Schoology and more (not shown in every region).
If you added a sample class, a banner offers Create a class, Import from your LMS and Remove sample class.
What the Dashboard Shows
From top to bottom:
- Alerts: a strip of chips for things that need you, such as work to grade, grades not yet released, missing work, a student marked Declining, or a safety concern. Click a chip to go there.
- Greeting: one short sentence about your week, such as which class meets next and how many submissions came in.
- Search: search your assignments. Press Enter to see the results.
- Class Pulse: one card per class with its current assignment and a bar showing how many students are done, working, not started or late. Click View all to open Student Work for that class. Click a card to show that class in the sections below.
- Authenticity Heatmap: a grid of students and assignments for the selected class, colored by authenticity (80 and above, 50 to 79, below 50, not started, new submission). Click a student's name to see their submissions.
- Authenticity & Accomplishments: how many of this week's submissions need a closer look, and recent student accomplishments, such as a class average going up or a student improving over several assignments.
On the right:
- Recently online: students in the selected class who were active recently, with what they are doing.
- Calendar: assignment due dates by month. Click a day to see what is due.
Customizing the Dashboard
- Click the gear (Customize).
- Drag sections to reorder them, or use the switch to hide one.
- Click Done. Reset to default brings back the original layout.
You can reorder and hide Class Pulse, Authenticity Heatmap and Authenticity & Accomplishments. Recently online and Calendar always stay on the right.
Calendar Feeds
Click the gear under the calendar (Calendar settings) to open Calendar Connections.
- iCal Feed: paste the iCal link of another calendar and click Add Feed to show its events on your dashboard calendar.
- Your Assignment Feed: click Generate Feed URL, then Copy, and subscribe to that link in your calendar app to see your assignment due dates there. Generating a new link stops the old one from working.
Sync now under the calendar refreshes imported events.
