Educator Dashboards FAQs

Answers to FAQs: educator dashboards

What data can I see?

The data displayed on your dashboard is based on three selections: (1) Aqueduct Role, (2) Date Range, and (3) Course Selected.

  • Your Aqueduct role
    • Program Service Administrators (PSAs) and Curriculum Administrators can see the data for all students and for all courses, both Aquifer courses and courses created by users in your program.
    • Lead Course Administrators (LCAs) can see the data for their assigned Aquifer course (Aquifer Family Medicine, Aquifer Pediatrics, etc.), as well as any course they have been added to that has been created by users in your program.
    • Course Managers (CMs) can see the data for any course they have created or been added to in your program.
  • The date range set on your dashboard
    • The default date range for your dashboard is July 1st to today's current date. You can change these dates at any time to set a range relevant to your needs. Once you set the dates, they will remain in place until they are changed again, even if you log out of Aqueduct.
  • The course selected in the course dropdown menu on individual data visualizations
    • The options available to users in this dropdown menu are determined by their user role and permissions.

How does the date range work?

  • The default date range for your dashboard is July 1st to today's current date. You can change these dates at any time to set a range relevant to your needs. Once you set the dates, they will remain in place until they are changed again, even if you log out of Aqueduct.
  • Beginning and end dates can be set individually. This means you can set the beginning date to the start of an academic unit that meets your needs and keep the end date set to the default date, which automatically updates to today's current date.
  • You can reset your dates at any time. Doing so will reset them to the default date range of July 1st - today's current date.

What does low time on case mean?

Aquifer includes a Recommended Time on cases for educators to approximate student engagement with Aquifer content. Student time on a case is calculated by recording their actual time spent on each section of a case, up to a maximum of 10 minutes per section.

Low time on case is represented by either a pink overlay on relevant dashboard data or an icon showing a black checkmark with a red clock and can mean any of the following, depending on the context:

  • An individual student spent less than 25% of the recommended time on a case
  • An individual student spent less than 25% of the recommended time on more than 25% of the cases they have completed
  • More than 25% of the students in a given group completed the case in less than 25% of the recommended time

Do all data represent completed student activity?

Unless otherwise explicitly stated (started v. completed, percent completed, etc.), all data displayed on the dashboard represent a completed student activity, whether that be a case completion, completed assessments, questions answered, etc.

How often are data updated?

The data displayed on the dashboard get updated regularly. Updates are triggered by the following actions:

  • Visiting the dashboard page
  • Refreshing the page
  • Changing the date(s) on the page
  • Opening or closing cards on the dashboard page
  • Repositioning cards on the dashboard page
  • Changing from one program to another (for users in multiple programs only)

Who else has access to the data?

Users added to your Aquifer account can see data on their dashboards as outlined below. If a user's role does not provide them access to the data they need, contact the Program Service Administrator (PSA) at your institution.

  • Program Service Administrators (PSAs) and Curriculum Administrators can see the data for all students and for all courses, both Aquifer courses and courses created by users in your program.
  • Lead Course Administrators (LCAs) can see the data for a given Aquifer course (Aquifer Family Medicine, Aquifer Pediatrics, etc.), and any course they have been added to that has been created by users in your program.
  • Custom Course Managers (CCMs) can see the data for any course they have created or been added to in your program.

How can I export this data?

Some data visualization cards can be exported as a CSV. If this option is available, there will be an EXPORT button on the card.
