This article explains how to use Engagement Analytics, a tool that helps educators track student engagement within an Aula space at both class and individual levels. This data can support more informed teaching decisions.
As an educator, the Engagement section can help you understand:
- Whether students are viewing and interacting with the space, so you can make adjustments to improve participation.
-
Whether specific students may need additional support to achieve better outcomes.
