2. Student view has changed to separate activities student completes from feedback about student. There are two separate pages for student-related activities, indicated by the new “My Activities” and “Feedback on Me” navigational options.
My Activities includes only the activities the student needs to complete or has completed. These include self- or peer-assessments, as well as journal-style activities for classes. Activities are listed by due date (due soonest first). Older activities will be hidden from view, but accessible by clicking a “view older activities” link at the bottom of the page.
Feedback on Me includes any feedback the student has received. This will include feedback from mentors, peers, and assessments the student has completed for themselves.
Selecting a tag (listed with each activity) will filter the activities with that tag for the student.
3. Advisor view has changed to separate activities advisor may supervise from activities advisor needs to complete. Changes make it easier to view student assessments.
Advisors who have Trainees are now directed to that student’s “Feedback on Me” page when clicking on a student.
Advisors have two separate views as well, one for viewing “My Activities” and another for monitoring activities students need to complete under “Trainees’ Activities.” Frequently Advisors monitor classes of students and need to know how students are progressing on activities. The “Trainees’ Activities” tab provides a visual representation of how many students have completed, started, and not started an activity.
The “My Activities” tab makes it easy for an Advisor to access only the activities they need to complete. Activities are listed by due date (due soonest first). Older activities will be hidden from view, but accessible by clicking a “view older activities” link at the bottom of the page.
4. Evidence List and Quick View.
This new form feature is specifically for Portfolio Coaches completing milestone evaluations. This will allow Coaches to quickly view assessments and comments submitted by others when creating their own evaluations of students.
