Background
Educators must use session mode in order to leverage Amplioās data collection and documentation tools. This interactive walk-through and the information below will review how to create a session within Amplio.
Creating a Session
From any page, click on the "Create Session" button located in the upper right corner.
Next, Educators can select the groups or students with whom they would like to collect data (see Amplio's Creating and Managing Groups article in the Help Center for guidance on creating groups). Any groups previously created by the Educator will be displayed on the first tab; select individual students by navigating to the Students tab.
Click the blue āStartā button to begin the session. Your students' initials will appear in alphabetical order on the upper left of your screen and the session will automatically open the activity at the top of the first studentās assignment queue.
Adding or Removing Students from a Session
Students may be added or removed at any time during the session.
To add a student, click on the blue plus sign button in the bottom left of the screen.
To remove a student from the session, hover over the student's initials. Then, select the "X" then āYes, removeā when prompted. Students may be added back to the session at any time using the blue plus sign button.
Session Mode
To jump to another studentās assignment queue, click on the studentās initials. The most recently assigned activity will appear at the top of the assignment queue.
To access the teaching materials, click on the āSkill Instructionā button, located at the top of the screen beside the activity name and exercise count.
Additional guidance regarding how to use the assignment queue and collect data during session mode may be found in the Data Collection Help Center article.
To assign activities while in Session Mode, click on the āxā in the upper right corner to navigate first to the Program Library and then to the activity you wish to assign, as reviewed in the Managing the Assignment Queue Help Center article.
