In Your Gradebook

To view practice minutes in your gradebook, hover your cursor over the navigation icons on the left side of the screen and choose Gradebook.

 

Select your class, and click one of the assignments in the gradebook grid.

If the student has submitted a take, the assignment details will display the total active minutes they spent on this title (either playing back, or recording) from the time the assignment was sent to the student to the time this take was submitted.

If the student has not submitted their assignment yet, you can still click the square in the gradebook grid to see how much time they have practiced this title so far since it was assigned:

 

Note: If you have multiple assignments active during the same time period for the same title (for example, measures 1-40, and a separate assignment for measures 41-80), the practice time displayed will be the combined total of time spent on that piece; it is not specific to the measures in any one particular assignment.

Practice time calculation is only available on assignments assigned within the last 365 days. 

 

Access Class Analytics

 

To view Class Analytics, hover your cursor over the navigation icons on the left side of the screen and choose Class Analytics.

 

 

 

The Class comparison page appears. If you have paid classes, you will be able to see the summary of the participation, practice minutes, assignment completion, and grade over the past 28 days. See Advanced Analytics for Teachers to learn more about the Engagement score.

 

Practice Time

To see the results in more detail, select the Practice time tab. The Practice time page displays practice time for the selected filters. The infographics are displayed by Assignments, Exploration, and Combined categories. MakeMusic Cloud starts tracking practice time as soon as the play or record button is selected. See Playing and practicing music.

 

 

Filter by Class or Student

 

Use the Select a Class and Select a Student dropdown menus and the Dates buttons to display different results in the Time spent playing or recording over selected dates section. By default, All is selected in the Classes and Students sections. You must uncheck All before selecting a class from the dropdown menus. If you are connected to more than one MakeMusic Cloud platform, make sure to select the desired platform from the first drop-down menu.

 

 

 

Assigned Content

 

The Assigned page displays the content that students have accessed from assignments for the selected filters.

 

 

Explored Content

 

The Explored page displays the content that students have accessed outside of assignments for the selected filters.

 

 

 

Awards

Enable Awards to recognize students’ dedication to their practice. The Awards page displays the badges that students have earned for the selected filters. See Filter by Class or Student   

 

Three different Awards can be enabled in MakeMusic Cloud for each class.

 

• Discipline: Awarded to students who play or record assigned content the specified number of times or minutes over a chosen time period.
• Discovery: Awarded to students who play or record non-assigned (exploration) content the specified number of times or minutes over a chosen time period.
• Consistency: Awarded to students who play or record any content a specified number of times or minutes everyday over a chosen time period.

  

Select the Edit Settings For This Class button to Enable or Edit the Awards.

 

 

The Awards page appears. Define settings for the Awards. Use the check boxes to enable each Award. Enter the number of times or the amount of minutes the students will need to play to earn the Award. Then enter the time period. Select the Update button to confirm the settings.

 

 

An Award has three different states that can be seen under Awards on the Practice Analysis page. A disabled Award will be a gray outline.

 

 

An Award is outlined in color when it is enabled and no students currently hold the Award. 

 

 

An Award is fully colored when it is enabled and students currently hold it. You will see the number of students who currently hold the Award in the attached bubble.
