Analytics only become useful after most of the class is graded. Start there before you assume something is missing.
Step by step
- Finish grading most of the assessment before you expect analytics to appear.
- Open the analytics view from the assessment or course.
- If the analytics view is not ready, check the page state before assuming the feature is broken.
- Confirm that the course is active, enough submissions have been graded, and the account still has access to analytics.
- If the insights are not current, use the refresh action after more grading is complete.
- Read the results only after the graded sample is large enough to be meaningful.
You should see
You can tell whether analytics is missing because data is not ready, because access is unavailable, or because the course is in the wrong state.
Keep in mind
- Analytics is feature-gated and can consume credits when you generate or refresh it.
- Archived courses and broken LMS connections can block analytics actions.
- Refreshing analytics updates the insight set after more grading is completed.
Common blockers
- Archived courses and broken LMS connections can block analytics actions.
- Analytics can be unavailable if feature access or credits are not in place.
Use analytics as a teaching follow-up step, not as a replacement for your own judgment.
Step by step
- Open the assessment or course analytics view.
- Review focus areas first to identify which concepts deserve reteaching.
- Check the students-needing-support view to see who may need targeted follow-up.
- Use those insights to plan the next class activity, reassessment, or intervention.
You should see
You can read focus areas and support flags as signals for teaching follow-up, not as replacement judgment.
Keep in mind
- Treat analytics as directional and actionable, not as a replacement for teacher judgment.
Time-saved numbers are best used as a planning and communication aid, not as a literal accounting record.
Step by step
- Open the analytics or overview surface where time saved appears.
- Read the value as an estimate of workflow efficiency rather than a stopwatch total.
- Use the trend direction to support planning, staffing, or rollout conversations.
You should see
Time-saved reporting is understood as an estimate that helps explain workflow impact, not as a compliance metric.
Keep in mind
- First-pass grading and regrades are not weighted the same way.
- Do not turn time saved into over-precise performance claims.
Keep in mind
Use the analytics and time-saved numbers to support teaching and planning decisions, not as over-precise performance claims.
Limitations
- Time-saved values should not be treated as auditable payroll or performance data.
