In Imagine Español (IE), there are several places in educator portal that display student counts, yet the counts may not be the same. This is intentional, as the student count in each location serves a unique purpose.
A. Manage Students (Product Portal)
To access Manage Students, go to the drop-down menu in the top left corner of your screen and select Product Portal.
Click Users & Classes/Groups.
On the Students tab, look at the top of the table where it says "Select all (number)".
This is the total count of rostered students using any Imagine Learning product in the Product Portal (Imagine Español, Imagine MyPath, etc.), whether active or inactive, assigned to groups or not assigned to groups. In this example, 190 students are rostered. Since we know that 23 students have been active in Imagine Español this school year, we can assume that 167 students have not made their initial login. This could be because they are not assigned product access to IE or because they haven't started using it yet.
Tips
- If your number of rostered students is substantially higher than your number of active students, perform a data clean-up to delete students who won't be using any of the Imagine Learning products this year. (If your organization uses a Student Information System, or SIS, ask your administrators to stop sharing students that you aren't planning to put on the program[s].)
- Use the Classes/Groups filter to view all students who are not assigned to groups (rather than just active unassigned students).
B. Students (Top right corner of dashboard)
This is the total count of active students (both assigned to groups and unassigned to groups) since the start of the school year set by your administrator. An active student is one who has at least 1 minute of activity in the program. In this example, 37 students have used Imagine Español since school started in August.
Tip
If you see a link to Unassigned Active Students, click the link to start assigning the active unassigned students to groups. This is important because students do not display in most reports unless they have been assigned to a group.
C. Active Students (Last 30 Days) - Bottom right corner of dashboard
This is the total count of students who have used the program for at least 1 minute during the last 30 calendar days. It includes students assigned to groups and those who are not.
If not all students are logging in on a regular basis, this count can be lower than both the other counts defined above. In this example, only 20 students (of the 190 rostered/37 active this year) have used IE in the past month. Have some of your students encountered a scheduling conflict you could help resolve?
D. 4 Week Snapshot (Administrators only; bottom of dashboard):
Because students can be in more than one group, attempting to total the students in the Active Students YTD column may not equal the number of students using the program. However, if all of your students are active AND all of your students are assigned to only one group, then totaling the Active Students (YTD) column should equal the student count in the top right corner of the dashboard.
