  • Per-activity summaries: e.g., {classCode}_QMK_all_all_{YYYYMMDD}.
  • All Activities consolidated: {classCode}_all_all_all_{YYYYMMDD}.
  • Same-day All/All logic: Prefer the consolidated doc; if missing, compute from the per-activity docs for that date so updates appear immediately.

Teacher Actions

1) SPRs

Use SPR as your primary daily “sanity check” and fairness check: totals, breakdowns, and irregularities.
  1. Open socraSPR260110.html and set School Yr: / Subject: / Teacher: / Class: / Date:.
  2. Go to the SPR Table tab.
  3. Use the filter controls exactly as labeled:
    • Select Activity: (e.g., All Activities or a specific module)
    • Select Topics/Units: (e.g., All Topics/Units or a specific unit)
    • Select Period: (usually Total for snapshot saving)
  4. Click Show SPR to render the table; then check for irregularities.
  5. Verify the two key breakdown areas by their on-screen column names:
    • By-Grader columns: Peer, Teacher, System, Bonus, Penalty, TotalGrader
    • By-Owner columns: Indiv, Pair, Group, Team, TotalOwner
  6. Use Show OwnerTotal / Hide OwnerTotal to toggle extra owner-total columns when you need deeper checks.
  7. When you want to persist the day’s table, click Save Activity Summary Table (works when Select Period: is Total).

2) Students Portfolio

Keep portfolio history current using the SPR UI. Portfolios are most useful when they are updated daily while class context is fresh.
  • Use the Students Portfolio tab for overview, and open each student’s Student Record popup when you need to add/edit portfolio items.
  • In the Student Record popup, review Existing Portfolio, then use Add New Portfolio fields: Title:, Details:, and Upload File: (if used).
  • Click Save Record for each new daily portfolio entry. Add brief notes so later reviews are interpretable.

3) Student Analysis

Use the Perform Analysis tab to spot unusual trends early.
  • Compare Class Performance across classes/dates to find peculiar trends (sudden shifts, unusually high/low means, widening spreads).
  • Select a student via Student ID: and check outliers (excessive z-scores and large diffs).
  • Generate narrative output using Generate Perform Analysis Report(PAR), review prior output via Get Previous Report, and persist via Save Report.

4) Teacher Observation

Observations are most reliable when written immediately after class and revisited periodically.
  • Go to the Teacher Observation tab and check Past Notes.
  • Set Observation Date:, then use Fetch Note for Date / Save Note for Date to review and write daily notes right after class.

Best practices

  • Save each module’s daily summary during class; later on SPR Table, set Select Activity: All Activities and Select Topics/Units: All Topics/Units, click Show SPR, and (if needed) click Save Activity Summary Table to lock the daily record.
  • Normalize across legacy capitalization automatically; rely on SPR for consistent totals.
  • Use exports and nearest-date fallback to keep grading conversations productive.

Troubleshooting quick hits

  • “All Activities / All Topics/Units didn’t show latest activity”: Save the module’s daily summary first; then on SPR Table, click Show SPR and (if needed) Save Activity Summary Table.
  • “No doc for selected date”: The viewer uses nearest-date fallback. Check the note above the table for which date was used.

Teacher checklist

  • SPR calculations: On SPR Table, confirm Peer/Teacher/System/Bonus/Penalty/TotalGrader and Indiv/Pair/Group/Team/TotalOwner are calculated correctly (use Show OwnerTotal if needed). If ORG changed during the semester, use Student ListClass Organization: selector + Refresh to compare before/after and confirm SPR displays align appropriately.
  • Students Portfolio: Confirm portfolio entries are recorded via the Student Record popup and that Save Record persists correctly (and appears under Existing Portfolio).
  • Perform Analysis: Confirm class means/standard deviations and student z-scores are calculated correctly; confirm Generate Perform Analysis Report(PAR) output is correct and can be persisted with Save Report.

Class Organization (ORG) — roster, groups, owners

What it is
Your classroom structure tool. Define students and flexible owner types (individual, pair, group, team). These owners are referenced by modules (QMK/ANS/ESS/PRO/PRE/DEB) and inform how scores get averaged back to students for SPR.

Core objectives

  • Keep the roster up to date (adds, drops, names).
  • Create reusable owner sets (pairs/groups/teams) for activities.
  • Ensure collaboration is fairly averaged back to members in reporting.
Shared principles: Collaboration is encouraged. Work owned by pairs/groups/teams is averaged back to all members. Participation (writing, voting, comments, votes on comments) still matters individually. Objective evaluation and three-stage learning guidance apply across owner types; repeated copying triggers penalties.

Teacher Actions

1) Student Registration

Use the Teacher Login page to register rosters and generate student access credentials.
  1. Open teacherLogin251213.html and go to Student Registration.
  2. Upload class files: choose your class roster file(s). Make sure the file has the required columns (schoolCode, schoolYear, classCode, lastName, firstName, sex).
  3. Generate whole classes at once: you can queue multiple class files and generate/register them together (multi-class generation).
  4. Confirm that each student gets:
    • Student ID auto-generated based on class and student number
    • Prep Num auto-generated as a temporary password
  5. (Optional) Use Notify Individual Prep Num on Teacher Login to push the Prep Num notice for the selected registered class.

2) How to create Class Organ

Create and refine pairs/groups/teams using the ORG tools. The organization you save becomes the source for “Owner” attribution in other modules and SPR.
  1. Open TDash_Organ251215.html and load your class (School Yr / Subject / Teacher / Class).
  2. Control Variables: set the variables that drive organization rules (for example, attendance/absent handling and grouping constraints).
  3. Absent students: mark absences before generating/recomputing so pair/group/team results don’t include missing students.
  4. Change Group/Team names: edit group/team names so they are meaningful for the unit/activity (used across dashboards and exports).
  5. Adjusting Pairs / Groups / Teams:
    • Use the adjust controls to manually refine auto-generated results (swap members, rebalance groups, etc.).
    • If you need the editor-style interface, open classOrgan251121.html and adjust there, then save back.

3) How to add new move-in students

When a student joins mid-term, update the roster first, then refresh/recompute organization so owners remain consistent.
  1. Teacher Login (teacherLogin251213.html): add the transfer/move-in student to the registered roster for the correct class/school year (so the student gets Student ID + Prep Num and appears in rosters).
  2. TDash_Organ (TDash_Organ251215.html): reload the class organization snapshot so the new student appears in the student list.
  3. classOrgan editor (classOrgan251121.html): recompute and/or adjust pairs/groups/teams to place the new student appropriately, then save the updated organization.

4) How to deal with move-out students

When a student leaves, remove/mark them as inactive in the roster and then rebuild owner sets so they don’t remain in pairs/groups/teams.
  1. Teacher Login (teacherLogin251213.html): use the move-out workflow for the selected student so the roster no longer treats them as active in the class.
  2. TDash_Organ (TDash_Organ251215.html): reload the roster/organization and verify the student is absent/inactive and not counted for organization generation.
  3. classOrgan editor (classOrgan251121.html): recompute and/or adjust pairs/groups/teams to remove the move-out student from any owner set; then save the updated organization snapshot.

Student Actions

1) Student Login

Students use studentLogin251003.html to log in, recover access using Prep Num, and (when enabled) change their password during the session.
  • Prep Num as temporary password: Your teacher assigns a Prep Num during registration. Use it as your initial/temporary password.
  • First-time login / Forgot password: Click Forgot Password (or First time Log-in)?, then enter your Student ID and Prep Num to recover/reset.
  • Change password (after login): After you successfully log in, you can open the change-password popup (if your class setup shows the button) and set a new password you will remember.
  • Keep it private: Do not share your password/Prep Num with other students.

2) Vote for Class Organ (LV & PV)

In Organ_sVote250806.html, students submit votes that help the teacher form balanced collaboration groups.
  • LV (Likability Votes): students you think you can work with respectfully and productively (positive collaboration fit).
  • PV (Popularity Votes): students who are widely connected/central in the class (social visibility). This is not the same as “best collaborator”.
  • Do: vote honestly; use real experiences of collaboration; enter the correct IDs/names; select different students (no duplicates).
  • Don’t: vote as retaliation; coordinate votes to exclude someone; select the same student multiple times; treat PV as a “best friend list”.
  • Respect privacy: do not discuss other students’ votes.

3) Best efforts for collaboration

ORG tools support collaboration, but the classroom results depend on student behaviors.
  • Contribute: share ideas, write your part, and help your owner (pair/group/team) produce quality work.
  • Be accountable: even when work is shared, participation still matters individually (writing, voting, comments, votes on comments).
  • Be fair: listen, rotate roles, and avoid letting one person do all the work.
  • Be objective: focus on the learning objectives and constructive feedback, not personal conflicts.

Using owners in modules

  • In each module’s Teacher page, choose the owner type when starting an activity.
  • Student pages show who they’re paired/grouped with. Submissions/evaluations will be attributed to that owner.
  • SPR averages owner results back to individual members for daily and all-activities summaries.

Best practices

  • Keep owner sets stable within a unit to allow longitudinal comparisons.
  • Rotate pairs periodically to broaden peer exposure while keeping objectives explicit.
  • When someone is absent, temporarily reassign owners rather than leave singletons.

Troubleshooting quick hits

  • “Scores didn’t average correctly”: Check that the activity was started with the intended owner type and that the owner set members are accurate.
  • “Student shows in two teams”: Edit owner sets to remove duplicates; then refresh the module/SPR view.

Teacher checklist

  • Roster is current; names standardized.
  • Owner sets created for the week/unit (pairs/groups/teams).
  • Modules launched with the correct owner type.
  • SPR confirms averaging back to individuals as expected.

    Quick Start Guide

    1. Apply for an Account:
      Open teacherApplication250922.html, fill out the application form, and submit it. After you submit, you will wait for administrator approval.
    2. First-Time Registration & Login:
      Once approved, you will receive an Access Code. Open teacherLogin251213.html and go to First Time Registration. Enter your Access Code + Email + Password to create your account. After creating the account, use Ordinary Login to log in.
    3. Upload Student List:
      After logging in, you will go to Student Registration. Prepare your student list in Excel using the 8 required columns shown on the page, then: Upload Student FileImport Student DataRegister Class Students.
      Notify Individual Prep Num: This sends (or re-sends) each student’s Prep Num (temporary password) individually. When a student starts typing their Student ID on the Student Login page, they can see a small popup with their Prep Num (if the notice is enabled by the teacher).
    4. Start a Class Activity:
      On the same Student Registration page, click Go to Class Selection Board. In the board:
      • Select the class you want (top-left dropdown).
      • Each row is an activity; columns are owner types (Individual/Pair/Group/Team).
      • Cells show status like Open / Close and the last open/close time.
      • If a class stays Open without a heartbeat for longer than the Stale Threshold, it is marked as Open — stale.
      • Click an enabled cell to open the dashboard for that activity + owner.
    5. Using Front Screen Controller:
      Right click on the page that you want to upload to the Front Screen Controller on the computer connected to the projector/TV.
      • Teacher On Screen: click an item to show the teacher’s page on the main screen.
      • Student On Screen: shows approved student pages that can be put on the main screen.
      • Upload request: when a student requests a screen upload, choose OK to approve (it will appear under Student On Screen) or keep it on Hold.
    1. Login:
      Open studentLogin251003.html and enter your Student ID and Password.
      • Teacher notice (Prep Num): the teacher notifies each student’s temporary password (Prep Num) individually. When you start typing your Student ID, a small popup can show your Prep Num (if the teacher enabled the notice).
      • Forgot Password? Use this when you forgot your password or it is your first-time login. It opens the recovery popup and lets you reset your login password using your Prep Num.
      • Change Password (recommended): After you successfully login, you can change your password. We recommend using your changed password for future logins instead of repeatedly using the initial Prep Num.
      • Timing: students can login only after the teacher selects the class activity on the Class Selection Board (class activity window is opened).
    2. After login: choose what to do
      After successful login, you will see two buttons: Go to Class Organization and Start Study Activities.
    3. If you click “Go to Class Organization”:
      It opens Organ_sVote250806.html where students participate in class organizing votes. (The teacher sets up the class organization and voting activities; students follow the on-screen voting instructions.)
    4. If you click “Start Study Activities”:
      It reveals the Select Activity dropdown and the Go to Activity button.
    5. Example: “Question Making”
      If “Question Making” is selected and you click Go to Activity, it opens the student Question Making page (QMake_sAction251003.html).
      Prefilled info: The system auto-fills the student info/context fields (School Yr, Subject, Teacher, Class, etc.). Students usually just confirm the info is correct and proceed.
