A playlist is a customized list of activities that you can create and assign to students for extra practice or intervention. Administrators and Teachers can add or remove playlist assignments for students in any group to which they are assigned.
When students are assigned a playlist, it overrides their learning sequence. They will begin working on the playlist immediately, provided they aren't in the middle of an activity or a Benchmark assessment. If the student does have work in progress, they'll finish that activity or assessment first and then be given the playlist activities. The transition is seamless and students will not be aware that they are completing playlist activities instead of sequential learning path activities unless you tell them.
Caution
- The playlist option in the Activity Explorer will not be available if the user doesn't have any groups assigned to them.
- Once you add students to a playlist, you can't add or remove activities or reorder the activities in the playlist.
- Usage time for playlist activities does not appear in the Usage report. You can see scoring data for Playlist activities from the Playlist report.
To add or remove students from a playlist:
- Log in to Imagine Language & Literacy.
- Select My Playlists from the Activity Explorer drop-down menu.
- Click the name of the applicable playlist.
- Click Manage Students.
- To add students to the playlist, check the box next to the student(s) that you want to add or check Select all students, then click Save Changes.
To remove students from the playlist, uncheck the box next to the student(s) that you want to remove or check Select all students, then click Save Changes.
Note
Students may only be assigned to one playlist at a time. If you attempt to assign them a new playlist and they already have a playlist assignment, you may chose to switch their playlist by clicking Reassign Students in the notification window.
You'll see a confirmation message after you have added or removed students from the playlist.
