This article reviews how to collect data in Amplio across sessions and independent practice

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Background

Data collected during Session Mode will be stored in the student profile and on the Reports page. Amplio will automatically score receptive activities completed from the educator’s or student’s device in session practice. Expressive activities completed from the educator’s device may be scored in real-time or in the student profile after the session has concluded, and expressive activities completed from the student's device may be scored by the Educator from the student profile after the session has concluded. Additionally, a Session Note will be created automatically for each session, including all data collected from time spent in Practice - regardless of whether the student is working on their own device or the Educator’s.

Data collected during Independent Practice will be stored in the student profile and on the Reports page. Educators can review student responses to exercises and revise scoring at any time from the student’s profile. Data collected during Independent Practice is not recorded in Session Documentation.

This article will review the following:

Collecting Data from the Educator Device During Sessions

When in session mode, data can be collected from the educator’s device or the student’s. This interactive walk-through and information below will explain how to collect data from the educator device during a session.

Educators must be in session mode to collect data from their own devices. In-depth instructions to create a session are reviewed in a separate article within Amplio’s Help Center, called Creating a Session.

After starting the session, Educators will see the students’ initials in circles on the left side of the screen. To access a student's assignment queue, click on their initials. The student's Assignment Queue will drop down the first time the student is selected.

When practicing or reviewing Skill Instruction with a student, the assignment queue will be closed. The queue may be opened or closed by clicking the caret. Click and drag the three dots beside the activity name to move the assignment up or down in the queue.

Access the teaching materials for an assigned activity by clicking the Skill Instruction button. To return to Practice, click the “X” to close Skill Instruction.

This icon indicates the activity is “in progress.”

This icon indicates the activity is “ready to start.”

To toggle between activities, simply click on the "ready to start" icon displayed on the desired activity.

Educators can review and revise scoring at any time from the student’s profile.

Collecting Data from the Student’s Device During Sessions

When in session mode, data can be collected from the educator’s device or the student’s. This interactive walk-through and information below will explain how to collect data from the student’s device during the session.

Educators must be in session mode to collect data from their own devices. In-depth instructions to create a session are reviewed in a separate article within Amplio’s Help Center, called Creating a Session. Once in session mode, the student can join by logging in. Student login instructions may be found in the Amplio Help Center.

When a student logs in to Amplio on their device during a session, they will not be able to access games. They will be presented with a message that says “You are in session: games are unavailable.” Students will also see “session mode” listed at the top of their screen.

When the student clicks on Practice, they will be presented with practice from the activity that is listed at the top of their assignment queue.

When they finish one set of exercises, they will be presented with the next assignment in the queue.

Educators can review and revise scoring and/or session documentation from the student’s profile after the session has concluded.

Independent Practice & Data Collection

This interactive walk-through and the information below will review how data is collected during independent practice. Using a personal or school-assigned laptop, chromebook or iPad, students can log into Amplio for Independent Practice.

Student login instructions may be found in the Amplio Help Center. When a student logs in to Amplio on their device for Independent Practice, they will be in Independent Practice mode. In Independent Practice mode, the student will have the option of selecting “Practice” or “Practice with Games.”

Please note: Students will only be presented with practice exercises from activities for which Independent Practice has been enabled. Educators can enable or disable Independent Practice for activities from the Assignment Queue.

If the student selects “Practice” they will be presented with exercises presented consecutively in the order of the assignments in their Assignment Queue, similar to how exercises appear during Session Mode.

Some students may benefit from Practice with Games to maintain motivation during Independent Practice. If they select ‘Practice with Games’ they will be allowed to select a game of choice from a game library.

Once a game is selected, the student will play for 90 seconds before the first exercise in their queue is presented. They will complete 4 exercises before the game-play resumes. As students play, they earn tokens that accumulate in the upper right hand corner of their login screen.

As students complete exercises, they receive feedback after they have submitted a response.

For receptive exercises, they are provided accuracy-based feedback.

For expressive exercises students are provided neutral feedback, such as ‘let’s see the next one!’

The system records all responses in the student profile, where Educators can review student responses to exercises and revise scoring at any time. Data collected during Independent Practice is not recorded in Session Documentation.
