What is Live Monitoring?
The enhanced Live Monitoring dashboard gives teachers and administrators real-time visibility into student activity, progress, and engagement within an assignment. Educators can quickly identify students who may need support and take action directly from the dashboard.
Navigate to Live Monitoring
- From the left side menu, select Assignments and click on Assignment Bank.
- Find the assignment you want to monitor, then click on the eye icon under the Live Monitoring column
Class Status
You can see an overview of how many students are actively working, browsing, idle, locked, paused, submitted, and offline
Proctor Mode
Directly below Class Status, you can see whether Proctor Mode is enabled for the assignment. Live Monitoring can be used whether Proctor Mode is enabled or not. When Proctor Mode is enabled, students are automatically locked out of the activity if they leave the secure testing environment, and educators can unlock them directly from Live Monitoring. Click here for more information about Proctor Mode.

Column Options
Student Name | Displays the student’s name and their current location within the program. If the student is not logged in, it will display “Not signed in.” |
Status | Displays whether the student is Active, Browsing, Idle, Locked, Paused, Submitted, or Offline. |
Activity | Displays the activity associated with the student’s current session. |
Progress | Displays the question the student is currently working on and the total number of questions. |

Idle for | Displays how long the student has gone without interacting with the platform. Tracking for idle time begins once a student launches an activity. If 5 minutes pass without any clicks or on-screen interaction, the student will appear as idle in Live Monitoring. After 10 minutes of idle time, a notification will pop up for the student to warn them that their session will automatically close within 60 seconds unless they choose to continue. |
Flags | Displays the number of questions the student has flagged to revisit. |
Last Answer | Displays whether the student’s most recent answer was correct or incorrect. |
