Monitor

What is she up to now?
Let's take a look...
What are you doing?
Performing a checkup. It's time you had one.
What does that have to do with Edivate? And are you even a licensed doctor?
Maybe I am. Let me explain.

What Should We Monitor?

Farmers rely on a variety of instruments and methods to accurately monitor the health of their crops. They use the data to make recommendations for further growth.
Likewise, Edivate provides you with reports to monitor the level of activity of each educator. Frequently monitoring and checking the progress of your educators will ensure that the culture of professional learning in your school or district is alive and well.

Usage Totals with Graphs

So how can I know from a report how my educators are using the system?
First, I need to know what kinds of data would help you know how your teachers are doing. You ask a question and I'll find the right report for you. Following our brief discussion of each report, I'll give you an examination.
I think you should put the stethoscope away. I want to know the overall use of the system in my school. How do I see the overall picture?
The report you need is Usage Totals with Graphs. This report helps you evaluate how your educators are doing overall, how many people are logging into the system and how many segments were watched. You can also read the answers your teachers are giving in their reflection and follow-up questions.

Usage Totals with Graphs Report

There is a lot of information on this report. For example, can you explain what Total Users are?
Those educators who have either been imported or manually added to your school.
Hmm. The difference between Total Users and Registered Users causes me concern. Some of my teachers haven't even logged in!
You're doing great at interpreting what the report means. Also notice that you can see how many of those registered have viewed at least one segment, and the total number of segments viewed.

Focus Objectives

Great report! But I have other questions this report doesn't really answer.
Good! Because I have more reports I'm dying to explain to you!
You may need to find a hobby. Are my educators watching videos associated with our school focus objectives or are they watching something else?

Individual Detail

Maybe I’m asking too much, but I still want to know more about my individual educators. What segments have they watched? Did they watch the whole thing? How detailed were their reflection and follow-up responses?
It's not bad to be informed. For the most thorough report on individual teachers, run the Individual User Detail Report.

Subscribing

I love all of the reports, but I'm exhausted just thinking about running them as often as I should. I wish there was a way to have the reports run themselves.
When you use the report subscriptions feature, you can have your most frequently used reports automatically emailed to you.
Well, sign me up! Or should I say, "subscribe me up!" Can I have reports sent to other people as well?
Wish number two is granted! Yes, you can do that. Any other wishes?
I wish for three more wishes!
You have violated the law of wish granting! All of your previous wishes have been revoked!
Really? You would do that?
No, not really.
