Independent Learning page

The Independent learning page is used to monitor how classes are using the Independent Learning functionality available for students. 

For each student, stats will be shown on usage over a period of time. Click View under the activity column to see an overview of which topics the student has been recently working on, including the level at which they have been working on it, and how many questions they have answered correctly.

How do I see if a student has done some Independent Learning? 

The Hand in Page shows a column, which will contain the time spent by the student, working on independent learning, between the hand out and hand in days for the homework you are viewing. On the answer history, there will also be a section that highlights this time spent, and number of questions answered. Please note this does not include time spent practicing times tables within Independent Learning.

There is also a dedicated Independent learning page, available under the Reporting menu, which allows you to select a class, and view independent learning activity for each student. This includes time spent, XP earned and questions answered, with the option to show this over the timeframe you're interested in. 

Clicking 'View' will then allow you to see a similar activity view that is available to the student, showing topics they have worked on, the level at which they have worked on that topic, which can also be filtered to your chosen timeframe:

Students also have the option to retry questions in Independent Learning, for example they may wish to come back to a topic at a later date and revise it further.

How does independent learning affect XP?

On the Student rewards page, there is also an XP column called Independent Learning XP which will show you XP that students have earned using Independent Learning in the last 7 days.

Students earn 100XP for each task (set of questions) they complete within an Objective.

Students earn 1XP for each times tables question they answer correctly within Independent Learning.

Please note: XP earned in Independent Learning will also be included in the total XP column on the Student rewards page.
