The Student Success App (SSA) is Aula's equivalent of a grade book, displaying grades for all students in a space. If enabled on your institution's Aula account, you may be able to use it to export grades directly to your institution's Student Record System through the module's official assessment components (called Assessment items in Aula).
The SSA can also be accessed by students and provides them with an easy overview of their assignments, submissions, and grades.
Navigate to the Student Success App
- Make sure you have some assignments set up in your Aula module.
- Head to Journey > Assignments.
- Click on Student Success App on the right-hand side.
Overview of the Student Success App
The Student Success App is split into two main sections where all grades are collected either by assignments or students.
Wherever you are in the Student Success App, you can always switch spaces by clicking on the title of the space at the top and selecting another space from the drop-down menu.
All assignments
Choose the Assignments tab in the sidebar to your left.
- If enabled on your institution's Aula account, you will see an Assessment items section at the top. Here you'll be able to see the official assessment components required for the module by your institution.
- By default, all Educators can see the Assignments section. Here, you'll be able to view all assignments created using Handin, Turnitin, or Quizzes. This is also where you can check their grade types and whether or not the grades were already released to students.
This video explains the difference between assessment items and assignments:
