Deliver Team-based Learning Catalytics in class

1. Open the course that contains the module you'll be using in class.
2. From the list of modules, open the module you will use.
3. When you're ready, click Start session.

1. Students go to learningcatalytics.com and sign in with the username and password they created for Learning Catalytics. When prompted, they supply the session ID (the number in parentheses at the top of the student screen).
2. When students have joined the session in a course that is associated with a seat map, they are prompted to identify the seat (or virtual seat) they occupy.

Students can then begin answering questions individually, unless they must first form temporary teams (see the next section).

If the module setting for Team Assignments uses permanent teams, students see the Individual Round without having to form teams.

If you use temporary teams:

1. Students can create their own team names and groups.

   

2. As students join a team, each team member sees names of all students on the team.

   

3. You see Team Formation on your screen, and you can monitor to decide when to start the Individual Round.

   

If you are using permanent teams, skip to step 2.

1. Selectk Start individual round to display the first question.

2. Students can navigate to questions in any order and change their answers any time during the Individual Round. You can monitor responses and reactions on your screen in real time.

   You may need to refresh your browser to see these changes:

   • Anonymous responses: As students answer questions you have delivered (in any order, with the ability to change their answers at any time during the round), you see information about their responses to each question displayed on your screen to the right of the question.

     

   • Specific student responses: If your course is associated with a seat map, you can click Show seat map of responses to display shading for seats that have responded: green (correct) and red (incorrect). You can point to any seat in the seat map to see the student's name and response. Note that this works for online sessions, as well.

   • Reactions: If you have enabled the "I don't understand" button and the real-time graph in the course settings, select Reactions at the top of the instructor dashboard to show how many students have indicated that they're confused.

     

     The line automatically drops after a minute unless one or more students click "I don't understand" again.

1. When students have completed the Individual Round, click Start team round.

   Note: For online sessions, students can establish chat rooms outside of Learning Catalytics to discuss the question with team members.

   Students agree on one response to submit for the team. They have access to all the responses their team members submitted during the Individual Round. Any student can click Show my team's responses.

   When a team member submits the team's answers, all team members see answer feedback. If you have enabled multiple attempts in the module settings, the team can submit another answer (generally for fewer points).

   A different person can submit the next response, but teams need to remember to coordinate their input because each response to the same question is considered to be another attempt.

2. As team responses come in, you see information about the Team Round to the right of the information about the Individual Round.

   

If a team reports that more than one student has submitted a response, and some of those responses did not represent the team's answer, you can click Revert to previous attempt to select the team's answer for affected students. You see this option when you Review results for the session.
