āš ļø Important: When Does Activity Tracking Begin?

Live Progress begins collecting activity data when the teacher opens the Live Progress page. Keep the following in mind:

  • Only actions taken after you open the Live Progress page will be displayed.

  • If a student started the assessment before you opened Live Progress, their earlier actions will not appear in the activity log.

  • Only students who are actively taking the assessment will appear in table.
