Using On-Task Monitoring

Using On-Task Monitoring

Info
This is turned off by default. If you would like to have On-Task Monitoring enabled for your organization please have a LanSchool Air Site Admin contact our Support team.

Overview

On-task Monitoring uses AI to help teachers keep track of which students are on-task or off-task. Teachers simply enter their daily learning objective into the system and the AI will intelligently identify the status of each student in their class.

Enabling On-task Monitoring for the Class

  1. In an active class, click on the On-task Monitoring icon in the toolbar.



  2. Enter the objective you would like the students to be concentrating on in the Class Objective field.



  3. Click Enable.
  4. You will now see the learning objective at the top of the class and buttons showing the status of the various students in the class:
    1. Focused 
    2. On-Task 
    3. Possibly Off-Task 
    4. Off-Task 



Using On-task Monitoring

  1. Clicking on each status will bring that student(s) thumbnail into direct view for monitoring.



  2. When a student is off task a red notification icon will appear at the top of their thumbnail.



  3. When a student does not have a browser open or the LanSchool Air extension is not installed, the student thumbnail will display No extension On-Task Monitoring paused.



  4. To change the learning objective click Update next to the learning objective.



  5. To turn On-task Monitoring on or off for certain students, click on the View Actions icon on the student thumbnail and click Manage On-task Monitoring and click Turn on/off On-task Monitoring. 



Providing Feedback

To provide feedback about On-task Monitoring's accuracy click on the View Actions icon  on the thumbnail and click Manage On-task Monitoring. 

If On-task Monitoring did not accurately show that the student was Focused, On-task or Off-task please click on the appropriate feedback.

For example, the learning objective was "Students will be researching information about outer space" and On-task Monitoring marked a student as On-task when they were viewing a space video game site. The student would technically be Off-task.
