HOW MUCH DETAIL DO YOU NEED?
Are Your Goals Simple or Strategic?
It all comes down to goals, and when it comes to organizing your students, we all have the same two goals; Management and Analytics. We recommend that you keep this as simple as possible, while still accomplishing your goals.
Goal 1: Management Can one person assign, monitor and manage all of your students as one group? Can they all be offered the same courses at the same time? If these answers are yes, keep it simple and stick with one general Campaign (ie. "Our Students")
On the other hand, if you have 100 or 1,000 students, that will be assigned to different staff members for managment, you will want those staff members to have their own Campaigns / Classrooms. That will allow them to filter their 25 students from the larger group and deal directly with them.
Goal 2: Analytics Every student profile will provide you with lots of data, including Activity Dates & Times, Last Login, Cumulative Time Spent, Course Completion Rates, Quiz Attempts & Scores, Certificates & CEU's earned, and much more. If that is all you need, you do not need more than on general Campaign (ie. "Our Students").
On the other hand, if you are looking to compare performance metrics between different segments of students, or different segments of outreach efforts, you will want those students or efforts to have their own Campaigns / Classrooms. This will allow you to run side-by-side reports and compare filtered outcomes.
An example of this would be comparing the self-enrollment rates achieved by sharing a Code on social media, versus the self-enrollment rates achieved by distributing a different Code on a flyer. Or perhaps you want to offer a Course Completion incentive to one group, but not the other. If you place the groups into separate Campaigns, you can easily distinguish between the outcomes.
Easily Import Your Existing Student Roster
Preparing Your Existing Roster
You can easily import and organize your students using an existing student roster. For full functionality, our system only requires the student's:
-
- FIRST NAME
- LAST NAME
- EMAIL ADDRESS
Simply export your existing student roster as a CSV file. Remove all fields except for FIRST NAME, LAST NAME and EMAIL ADDRESS. (Easily done in Microsoft Excel). Then simply log into your account on our website and upload the roster to one of your Campaigns/Classrooms, using the "Enroll New User" button.
All students will instantly have an active student profile, and all students will automatically receive an email with their Username and Password.
*Please see this advice on "Organizing Student Rosters" before importing your students.
Anonymizing Student Records
We do not collect any sensitive data on your students. But if full student anonymity is a priority, you can completely mask any student identifiers from your roster.
The students EMAIL ADDRESS is used to log the student in and deliver notifications. A working email address is needed, but you can substitute a proxy address that forwards to your student's inbox. Consult your IT.
The email address also serves as a unique identifier that lets you link your courses to your students and track their progress. You cannot use a shared email address. But a unique proxy address is fine.
We only use NAMES to populate Certificates upon course completion, and to help you easily correlate analytical data with individual students. You may use any initials, or redacted identifiers you choose in these fields. Just consider how you will translate/interpret the data when reviewing your analytics.
Understanding Your Analytical Hierarchy
It's really easy to understand how this all works. Just keep these rules in mind.
Basic Rule #1: Every Campaign Always Feeds Into Your Main Analytical Pool
Whether you have 1 or 100 Campaigns, they will always feed into your Main Analytical Pool and you will always have Macro-Level analytics on all of your students and all of your Campaigns.
Basic Rule #2: Your Campaigns are just filters that you can apply to separate students from the Main Analytical Pool, in order to manage or analyze them as their own group.
If there are categorical differences in your students, you'll want to enroll them into different Campaigns right from the start. (ie. "Class of 2027 Students", "Class of 2027 Parents", "Staff"). These Campaigns can then travel with those students through time, and you can apply or remove new filters to each one of those groups as needed; such as for new teacher or course assignments.
Basic Rule #3: Timing Really Matters
It's ALWAYS easier to enroll students directly into a specific Campaign at the time they join your organization. You can usually move them later, but it can be more work. Remember, there is very little data linking your students together as a group, so it can be harder to re-constitute segments of students once they have been diluted into your general student roster.
Deleting Students & Campaigns! If you delete a student from a Campaign, or delete an entire Campaign from your Organization, all of the students and student records are still part of your Main Analytical Pool. If you delete a student from a Campaign, they can be re-added to the Campaign and their records will come with them. BUT once you delete a Campaign, it's gone and would have to be rebuilt. And if you delete a student from your Main Student Roster, they and their records are instantly removed from our system and cannot be recovered.
Using Organization Codes
(Example Code: "MHS-PTA-2027")
When you offer a prospective student one of your Organization Codes, you give them the ability to register and begin taking your courses in less than 15 seconds flat; and it's completely FREE for them.
As soon as they use your code, that student will instantly be:
-
- Registered With Your Organization
- Organized Into Their Campaign / Classroom
- Enrolled In Your Courses
- Displayed On Your Student Analytics Dashboard
Organization Codes provide you with ENLESS VERSATILITY. You can create an unlimited number of codes and use them in very powerful ways. You can turn them on, turn them off, set limits on who can use them, set dates for auto-expiration and much more.
It's All So Easy!
Your students simply enter the code into the box on their profile page, and everything happens instantly. Students can redeem an unlimited number of Organization Codes. So the same student can use one code to be instantly organized into the "Class of 2027" macro student group, and use a second code to also be organized into the "Health One: 3rd Period" group. They will now be organized with the "Class of 2027" cohort, but can be managed and monitored on a classroom level by the teacher or guidance counselor of "Health One: 3rd Period". At the end of the year, the student can easily be removed from the "Health One; 3rd Period" group and reassigned to a new teacher. All their student records go with them, and they stay attached to the "Class of 2027" macro student group.
In another example, an Organization may choose to create temporary groups based upon class, club or team assignments, and run a contest for course completion. It becomes easy to compare the group's analytics and reward the winner. Another organization may simply use one Organization Code for an "Email Campaign", and another Organization Code for a "Social Media Campaign". They can then compare which effort resulted in a higher conversion rate. Or they can conduct the same comparison to determine what courses stimulate more interest in their community. By simply creating one Organization Code for the "Safer Social Media Course" and another Organization Code for the "Vaping Prevention Course", they can easily determine which topic is more relevant right now.
Using Codes as Gatekeepers:
When you create an Organization Code, you can easily restrict its use to students or staff using the email address of your school or company's domain (ie. HillcrestSchools.Org). This blocks anyone else from using it. So if you distribute a code that you've limited to students or staff using your school's email accounts, no one without a school email account can redeem the code. This prevents unauthorized sharing of your licensed "Seats".
One Caution About Codes:
Remember, (1) you can set limits on the number of students who can redeem each code. (2) You can also turn codes on or off, and (3) you can set dates for the auto-expiration of codes. As mentioned above, (4) you can also prevent codes from being redeemed by staff or students who don't use your school's email address. And finally, (5) you can distribute your codes in ways that do not live forever on the internet (Email, Flyer, Slide at Back to School Night etc.)
Just remember, each redemption of an Organization Code by a NEW STUDENT will pull a "Seat / User Registration" from your main licensing agreement. This cannot be undone. People do search the internet for Organization Codes and some of your community members will share the codes that you publicize. We cannot refund or replace "Seats" that are redeemed by students outside of your intended reach. If your organization has licensed a tightly limited number of "Seats", be careful with your codes.
