The instructor dashboard is a key component of the ITS application as it provides you feedback on the most important aspects of your students’ performance for a module. It provides general metrics like how many questions each student answered, whether they were able to complete the module, and how much time they spent. More importantly it presents aggregate information about common mistakes or confusions that students encountered.
Watch this video for a walkthrough of the dashboard.
