​
Assignment Security Dashboard

  • Submission timing anomalies
This dashboard provides early warning signs that may warrant further investigation, helping you maintain academic integrity in your course.

​
Test Insights Dashboard

The test insights dashboard analyzes autograder results to help you understand student performance patterns:

​
Student Leaderboard

Instructors can optionally enable a student leaderboard for assignments. The leaderboard displays:
  • Student rankings based on assignment scores
  • Autograder performance metrics
  • Optional anonymization settings

​
Configuring the Leaderboard

The leaderboard feature is optional and can be configured per assignment:
  1. Navigate to the assignment settings
  2. Enable or disable the leaderboard
  3. Choose visibility settings (all students, top performers only, etc.)
  4. Select whether to show student names or use anonymous identifiers
The leaderboard can be made less prominent in the interface to reduce competitive pressure while still providing performance feedback.
