Checkpoints enable teachers to establish the pace at which students progress through a self-paced multi-lesson assignment.
Understanding Checkpoints
Teachers set checkpoints in multi-lesson assignments, allowing students to work at their own pace. Approval from the teacher is needed for students to move forward after reaching a checkpoint.
How do teachers receive notifications when a student reaches a checkpoint?
When a student reaches a checkpoint, a purple notification appears at the top of the teacher's screen. The teacher can review and approve the checkpoint by clicking on the notification in the activity tab.
Teachers may also receive a checkpoint notification with an orange icon in various locations, such as next to the student and lesson in the course's progress grid, in the student tab for checkpoint status at the course level, and next to the relevant lesson on the student progress page for efficient approval.
What is the impact of checkpoints on students?
Once a student reaches a checkpoint in the assignment, a message will pop up saying, "You've hit a course checkpoint. Once your teacher gives the green light, you can proceed to the next lesson." This means that the current lesson or assessment is finished for the student, and they won't see the next activity until the checkpoint is approved.
After approval, students can view their new lesson or assessment on their student dashboard.
