Editing usage goals in Imagine Language & Literacy

 Notes

  • Changes made to the usage goal update on Sunday night and will reflect in the educator dashboard and Usage report on Monday. 
  • When a usage goal is changed, the metrics in the Usage report calculations will change from that point forward, but previous weeks' reports will continue to calculate and display data as it was with the previous usage goal. If the selected date range for the report includes multiple usage goals, they will be averaged in accordance with how long each goal was in effect.

The default usage goal in Imagine Language & Literacy (IL&L) is 100 minutes per week. If you are an Administrator, you can customize the usage goal to better reflect the goals of your particular school or district. 

The usage goal displays in 2 places as listed below; each place also displays how much time students are using IL&L compared to this goal.

1. The Snapshot at the bottom of a district, school, or group/class dashboard:

2. The bottom table of the Usage report

 Tip

Be sure to change the usage goal to match your organization's goals so that the report calculates based on your goals rather than the default. Imagine Learning provides usage recommendations here.

District Administrators can edit the usage goal for the whole district. All schools in the district automatically inherit this goal. However, you can create custom goals for individual school(s) if needed.

School Administrators can edit the usage goal for their school.

The usage goal applies to all groups (classes) in the respective school and cannot be customized at the student, group, or grade level.

To edit the usage goal:

  1. Log in to Imagine Language & Literacy.
  2. At the bottom of the Home page, click on the name of the organization whose usage goal you wish to change. 
  3. At the top of that organization's dashboard, click the drop-down arrow next to the gear icon in the upper right-hand corner and select Usage Goal

    Revert back to the default (100 minutes per week): Click Default.
  5. Click Save.

Changes are reflected in the educator dashboard and Usage report the Monday after they are saved.
