Streamline Student Progress Tracking through Möbius

The Significance of Student Performance Tracking

Monitoring student’s progress is crucial for educators to identify any gaps in their student’s understanding. This allows teachers to adjust their instructional approaches accordingly, ensuring improvements in student performance.

Within conventional classrooms, instructors can gauge students’ learning through in-class questioning, live assessments, and oral tests. However, after COVID, a lot of learning is also taking place outside the classroom. This has cultivated a new problem for instructors – identifying learning gaps for learning that took place outside. Already an extremely difficult thing to do inside the class, outside the class learning takes things to a completely different level.

Some instructors have relied on assessments but these are also not great metrics for student performance. For instance, when two students achieve identical scores on a test, it doesn’t automatically imply an identical understanding of the subject. To ensure uniform understanding levels among all students, Möbius proves highly effective by providing detailed analytics on individual student’s grasp of the material.

Challenges in Student Performance Tracking

Failure to consistently monitor student’s learning can result in significant challenges affecting their overall performance.

• Students lose engagement: The majority of the time, when students are learning outside of traditional classrooms, their teachers provide them with some study material, but at times there are instances where students don’t understand some part of the content, so they are very likely to just skip the topic altogether.
• Teachers struggle to evaluate themselves: Despite investing substantial effort in teaching, students often fail to achieve the desired scores. Consequently, teachers find it challenging to assess their own performance and see where they could have done better at providing desired support to their students.
• Low marks: Due to the lack of supervision in outside-class learning, students tend to invest minimal effort in self-learning, leading to lower academic performance.

Current vs New methods of tracking student performance

The existing approach to assessing student performance relies solely on tests and assignments. While evaluating based on assignment outcomes is valuable, it falls short of providing a comprehensive understanding of a student’s true knowledge about the subject.

The best and new way of tracking student’s understanding is through Möbius:

• Consider a scenario where a teacher has distributed content to students and aims to grant bonus marks in the upcoming assignment exclusively to those who have thoroughly reviewed the material. To identify students who have engaged with the content, the teacher can utilize Möbius’s detailed analytics. This offers comprehensive insights, indicating whether a student has accessed a lesson, the time spent on each page, and whether they have responded to all questions within the content.
• Imagine a teacher shares a 30-minute video with students and subsequently assigns an assessment based on it. Post-assessment, the teacher observes unsatisfactory scores and desires to identify students who did not watch the entire video. Möbius analytics provides a convenient solution by revealing which students accurately answered questions spread throughout the video, distinguishing those who engaged fully from those who did not.
• Suppose a teacher is conducting a comprehensive chapter test. Despite providing various study resources and thoroughly covering the material in class, she struggles to pinpoint which specific topics students find challenging and where they require additional support. With Möbius analytics, the teacher can recognize the frequency of question regeneration and the number of incorrect responses from students. This information allows the teacher to identify problematic topics or questions, enabling targeted explanations in the next classroom session.

These are just some scenarios that allow you to really track not just your student’s progress through your content but even their progress through learning. With digitization being integrated into education, tracking is not just an option, but a necessity. By leveraging data analytics and technology, educators can gain real-time visibility into students’ strengths, weaknesses, and learning preferences. This insight allows for the customization of teaching strategies, fostering an environment where each student can learn better. By accepting both the potential and the challenges, we open the door to a future in which every student’s path to success is carefully planned and shared.
