The Overview tab is the first thing you see when you open a classroom. It's laid out in the order a teacher usually asks questions: who needs me, what should I reteach, how far has the class gotten, who showed up this week, and how are scores spread. Every student named on the page links to their own page, so you can go from a number to a name in one click. This article walks through each card, what its figures mean, and how they're calculated.
Good to know: The Overview is on every plan. On the Free plan, course completion and missed assignments are shown in full, while quiz scores, activity and the reteach list are blurred or locked. The full list is at the end of this article.
Before the page fills in
The Overview needs students and a course. Until then you'll see "No students yet" (share your class code so students can join) or "No course assigned yet" (add a course from Coursework). See Inviting students with your class code or join link and Adding a course to your classroom.
Everything on the page is for one course. If the class has more than one, use the COURSE menu at the top to switch. Your choice carries over to the class's Students, Gradebook and Rankings tabs.
The four tiles
Course completion
The class's average course completion. A student's completion is the share of the course's lessons they've finished, the same figure they see on their own course page. The thin bar under the number splits the class into students at 75% or more, in between, and under 25%. If anyone is under 25%, a link such as "4 under 25%" lists them. When nobody is, the tile says "Everyone is past 25%."
Average quiz score
The average of each student's overall quiz score, counting only students who have finished at least one quiz. A student's overall score is the average of their section quiz scores, and each quiz score counts wrong tries (a 10-question quiz finished with 2 wrong tries is 83%). The bar shows how many students are in each band: Mastery (80% and up), Developing (55 to 79%), Needs support (under 55%) and No quiz yet. A link such as "2 need support" lists the students under 55%. For the full scoring rules, see How quizzes and assessments work.
Active this week
How many students opened or finished a lesson in this course in the last 7 days, out of the whole class (for example "18 of 24"). The small bars show each day, with today darkest. A link such as "6 quiet 7+ days" lists students with no lesson activity in the last week, including students who have never started.
Need attention
How many students have at least one reason to check in, with their initials. See who and why scrolls down to the Needs your attention card.
Needs your attention
This card lists students who need a nudge and says why, using these reasons:
Not started: the student hasn't finished any lessons and hasn't opened one. This only appears once at least two classmates have started, so a class you set up yesterday doesn't fill the list.
1 missed assignment (or more): an assignment that has been published, is past its due date, and the student hasn't finished.
Score and a percentage, such as "Score 48%": the student's overall quiz score is under 55%.
Quiet and a number of days, such as "Quiet 12 days": no lesson activity in this course for 10 days or more. Students who have finished the course aren't flagged.
Students who haven't started come first, then missed work, then low scores, then quiet students. Each row shows the student's completion on the right, and clicking it opens their page. The card shows six students at first; Show all lists the rest. When nobody qualifies you'll see "Nobody needs a nudge right now."
Notice the two different time windows: the Active this week tile looks at the last 7 days, while a student is only flagged as quiet after 10 days. A student who missed a few days is worth a glance; one who has been gone for a week and a half is worth a conversation.
What to reteach
The five sections where the class missed the most quiz questions, with how many questions were missed, how many students missed at least one, and the class's score on that section. "Missed" counts every wrong try, including ones the student then got right on a retry. Open Reteach takes you to the full list, where you can see each student's wrong answers and reassign the section. See Reteach: finding what your class needs to revisit.
Progress by unit
One row per unit, in course order, with these columns:
Students finished: how much of the unit the class has finished. It's the share of all student-and-section pairs that are done, so a unit with 4 sections and 25 students is 100% when all 100 are finished. A section counts as finished when every lesson in it and its quiz are done.
Class score: the average quiz score on the unit's sections, from the students who finished each quiz.
Missed questions: the total wrong tries on the unit's quizzes.
Avg quiz time: the average time students took on the unit's quizzes.
Click a unit to open its sections. Each section shows how many students have finished it (for example 18/24), plus the same score, missed and time figures.
This week
A closer look at the last 7 days of lesson activity in this course. The headline says how many students were active and how many minutes they spent in lessons. Each lesson sitting counts for at most 60 minutes, so a tab left open overnight doesn't inflate the total. A bar for each day shows how many students were active, and three small boxes count students Active today, active Earlier this week, and Quiet 7+ days.
Score spread
How many students are in each band: Mastery, Developing, Needs support and No quiz yet, using each student's overall quiz score. Click a band to see the students in it with their scores, and click a name to open their page. These are the same bands the Gradebook colors with.
More analytics
At the bottom of the page, More analytics holds nine more detailed charts. It's closed by default; click Show to open it, and Intertwined remembers your choice next time.
Time against accuracy: each student as a dot, placed by their time on quizzes and their quiz score. Lines at the class's median time and at the 80% mastery line split students into four groups: quick and accurate, took longer but got there, took longer and still struggling, and quick but inaccurate. Click a dot to open that student.
How far students have gotten: how many students have started the course, finished a quiz, and reached the 80% mastery line.
Students improving: how many students scored higher on their more recent quizzes than on their earlier ones.
Change in class standing: who moved up, held steady or moved down in the class ranking between their earlier and recent quizzes. A move of 10 or more percentile points counts.
Lesson impact: how each section scored compared with the same students' average on the sections they finished before it. A section well below the line is one students found harder than what came before.
Correct answers per minute: correct quiz answers divided by minutes spent on quizzes.
Standards coverage: the class's average score on the units that teach each financial literacy standard.
Improvement by unit: within each unit, the class's average change from its earlier sections to its later ones.
Completion buckets: how many students are in each quarter of the course.
What Free plans see
On the Free plan, the Overview still shows who is moving through the course. Figures about how well students are doing are part of student performance, which comes with Intertwined Solo and school plans.
Shown in full: Course completion, Need attention (for students who haven't started or missed an assignment), the Students finished column in Progress by unit, and Completion buckets.
Blurred: Average quiz score and Active this week, each marked "Included with student performance", plus the score, missed questions and time columns in Progress by unit.
Locked: What to reteach, This week, Score spread and eight of the nine More analytics charts. Each locked card lists what it would show.
Not flagged: low scores and quiet students in Needs your attention. A note at the bottom of the card says so.
See Why is a feature locked or blurred? for more.
Tips
Check Needs your attention at the start of the week. It's short on purpose, and every name is a click away from the details.
Use What to reteach to plan a warm-up. If one section has twice the missed questions of the next, start there.
A low class score on a section with a long average quiz time usually means the material was hard. A low score with a short quiz time often means students rushed.
Figures load when you open the tab. If students are working right now, reload the page to see the latest.
Common questions
A student logged in yesterday. Why are they "Not started"?
Not started is about this course: no lessons finished and none opened. A student who signed in but didn't open a lesson in this course still counts as not started.
Why doesn't a student who took a quiz this week count as active?
Active this week counts lessons opened or finished. A student who finished the lessons last week and the quiz this week shows as active on the day of their last lesson.
Why is the Average quiz score different from the Gradebook's Class average?
They're the same figure unless you've given simulators a weight in the Gradebook. With a weight, the Gradebook's class average blends in recorded simulator grades, while the Overview stays on quiz scores.
Why do the numbers change when I switch courses?
Every card is for the course in the COURSE menu. A class with two courses has two separate sets of figures.
How is the Overview different from the dashboard?
The dashboard sums up all of your classes at once. The Overview goes deep on one class and one course. See Your teacher dashboard, explained.
