Monitor

Summary

The Monitoring view of the Leader Selection activity gives you a real-time overview of how each team is selecting their leader, including participation patterns, nudges, and final decisions. This allows you to track engagement, intervene when necessary, and better understand team dynamics.

Leader selection

Good practice when monitoring Leader Selection

• Use the dashboard to observe patterns before intervening

• Step in only when teams are clearly unable to progress

• Look beyond the final leader and consider how the decision was made

Appoint or Change Team Leaders

You can manually assign a team leader at any time, however it is strongly recommended to allow students to select their own leader. This process is an important part of the activity, as it helps students develop communication, negotiation, and leadership skills within their team.

The Manage leaders button allows you to:

• Manually assign or change a team leader

• Override the student selection if necessary

This is useful if:

• A team is unable to decide

• You need to ensure lesson progression

Important! If you want to change a team leader in an activity that already have started, please do so within the activity (see monitor in Assessment -as an example) .

Edit Activity

You can change the title and instructions at any time.

If you need to edit these or modify the settings you can press the Edit Activity button and you will be presented with the author page.

Be aware! If you are editing an activity that is already been used by students, then students might be slightly confused as they might be viewing older information. So when editing content that is live, make sure that your students know about this.

Analytics

At the bottom of the screen, you get a high-level summary across all teams:

• Total teams

• Leaders selected (and how many are still pending)

• Average nudges per team

• Needs review – Flags potential issues (e.g. leader not aligned with most nudged student)

This helps you:

• Quickly assess overall participation and progress

• Identify whether intervention is needed at scale
