There are many ways to track engagement in Engageli, both as a full class and individually. These metrics can help keep a pulse on how the class is engaging with and learning the content so you can adjust as needed.
Please Note: At this time, outside of thumbs up/down all other in-class engagement metrics are only available if you are teaching on the application. However, you will still have access to engagement data post-class.
Class Metrics
1. Emojis: The Emoji Thermometer measures learner sentiment. Learners have four emoji options: red, orange, yellow, and green. As learners answer, the thermometer will move up and down. All answers are anonymous, so you will get the aggregate of the responses.
Some example questions to use with Emojis are:
- "How are you feeling today?"
- "How confident are you in the material we just covered"
2. The Bowtie Thermometer measures aggregate class engagement. As learners interact with the platform, the engagement bar will move up and down.
Examples of platform engagement are: raising hands, chatting, asking questions in Q&A, answering polls/quizzes, giving thumbs up or down, etc.
Individual Metrics
In addition to tracking full class engagement with the engagement thermometers, you can also track individual learner engagement.
1. Thumbs up/down: You can ask learners to give you a thumbs up or down. The thumbs will show up on the instructor gallery and will not be seen by other learners.
Some example questions to use with thumbs are:
- "Do you understand the material we just covered"?
- "Give me a thumbs up if you can see my screen"
2. Engagement Markers
Each learner has an engagement marker next to their video feed on the gallery view of the instructor application.
- The green marker represents that a learner is "active," meaning that they have recently interacted in the classroom in some way. Some examples of engagement that trigger this marker include raising a hand, sending chats, asking/answering questions in the Q&A, sharing screen, or answering a poll question.
Note: The green marker starts to get smaller after some time, and if you hover over it in any location, an "engagement rating" out of 5 will appear. Any form of activity listed above will turn the marker green. Approximately every two minutes, the rating will drop down by 1/5.
- The grey marker replaces the green markers when a learner who was previously active has not recently interacted in the classroom. In general, a green marker will turn grey after five to 10 minutes. The grey marker corresponds to an Engagement rating of 0/5.
- No marker simply means the learner has not interacted in the classroom at any point.
- The perforated (dotted) marker indicates that a learner who was seated at a table has left the class. They are still represented in the class by what's called a reservation, explained in this article.
