# Monitor
## Summary
The **Summary section** gives you a **real-time overview of how students have responded** to the Vote activity. This is not just a results screen, it is a live teaching tool that helps you quickly interpret responses and act on them during the lesson.
It allows you to **adapt your teaching on the spot**, respond to student thinking, and guide learners towards deeper understanding through discussion and reflection.
#### Visual Chart Representation
A bar and pie chart provides a **visual breakdown of the voting distribution**.
* Each bar corresponds to a nomination
* Displays **relative proportions clearly and instantly**
### View students' choices
If you want to see which students selected a particular choice, click on the choice and a popup window will show you the name of the student and the time when they selected this option.
## Analytics
The **Analytics section** gives you a clear overview of **student participation and completion** for the Vote activity. It helps you quickly understand **who has engaged with the task and how complete the activity is** across your class.
**Completed Voting**: displays the number of students who have submitted their vote.
**Possible Students**: shows the total number of students expected to participate.
**Completion Rate**: a visual progress bar indicating the percentage of students who have completed the Vote activity.
## Advanced Settings
The **Settings section** allows you to **review and manage how the Vote activity is configured while the lesson is running**. This gives you flexibility to adjust behaviour in real time and ensure the activity supports your teaching goals.
### Restrict access
The **Deadline** setting allows you to **define a specific date and time after which students can no longer access the activity**.
Once the deadline is reached, the activity becomes unavailable to all students, ensuring that activity are completed within the intended timeframe. This is particularly useful for timed activities where fairness and consistency in access are important.
**How it works:**
* You select a date and time using the calendar and time picker
* The system enforces this as a **hard cut-off point**
* After this moment, **students cannot enter or continue** the activity
**Why use a Deadline:**
* Ensures all students complete the activity within the same timeframe
* Supports fair and controlled conditions
* Helps manage pacing in both synchronous and asynchronous lessons
* Reduces the need for manual intervention to close access
This feature gives you precise control over activity availability, helping you maintain structure and integrity it.
This option enables the teachers to set the **deadline** for students after which they will not be allowed to submit the activity.
## Edit activity
If you need to edit these, modify the settings or add/remove a nomination, you can press the "Edit" button and you will be presented with the author page.
{% hint style="info" %} **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.
