Product Update: New Student View, District-Level Insights

Written by Elizabeth Riley Boyer | September 16, 2015

This week our tech team launched a few updates and enhancements to the ThinkCERCA application. Here's a quick rundown of what you should see the next time you log in.

Updated Interface for Students

We've updated the ThinkCERCA experience for students (screenshot above) by making lessons easier to navigate. Now students can quickly look at the top navigation bar to know where they are in the CERCA process. Previously, students just saw Step 1, Step 2, Step 3, and so on. This new update adds instructions to each step, making the process more clear and easier for students to toggle back and forth between steps.

Better Usability with iPads

Due to some bug fixes and design element changes, ThinkCERCA works better on the iPad. Teachers and students can now shift between portrait and landscape view without it negatively affecting the experience.

District-Level Dashboards

A few weeks ago, we launched our Insight dashboard, which gives teachers and schools a bird’s eye view of student performance and time-on-task data. This week, we launched the district-level version that can track student performance across multiple schools. Superintendents can now monitor how students, in aggregate, are performing on reading information standards, writing standards, and reading literature standards across their entire district.
