Instructor Dashboard

The instructor dashboard provides a comprehensive overview of your course’s grading status, student activity, and system health. Access it from the course navigation menu.

​

Assignment Grading Overview

The dashboard displays all assignments in a consolidated table organized into three sections:

​

Needs Attention

Assignments with incomplete work, open regrade requests, or other items requiring action:

• Assignments with incomplete submission reviews
• Assignments with incomplete review assignments
• Assignments with open regrade requests

​

Upcoming with No Blocking Work

Assignments with upcoming due dates that have no pending grading or issues.

​

Complete or Stable

Past-due or undated assignments where all grading is complete and no issues remain.

​

Dashboard Metrics

For each assignment, you can see:

• Grading Due: The due date for grading work (in your course timezone)
• Submitted Students: How many students have submitted vs. total enrolled
• Submission Reviews: Completion status of overall submission grading (one per submission)
• Review Assignments: Individual grading tasks assigned to staff members. Multiple graders can be assigned to review different parts of the same submission, so review assignment counts may exceed submission review counts.
• Grades Released: Whether grades have been released (fully, partially, or not at all)
• Regrades / Extensions: Open regrade requests and students with active due date extensions

​

Summary Cards

At the top of the dashboard, summary cards display:

• Assignments Needing Attention: Total count of assignments requiring action
• Incomplete Submission Reviews: Total across all assignments
• Incomplete Review Assignments: Total grading tasks pending
• Grade Release Status: Fully released vs. total releasable assignments
• Open Regrade Requests: Total open requests across all assignments

​

Quick Actions

Each assignment row provides links to:

• Grading Dashboard: Detailed grading progress and rubric completion
• Submissions: View all student submissions
• Regrade Requests: Manage student regrade requests
• Due Date Exceptions: View and manage extensions

​

Open Office Hours Requests

This section lists every open help request in the course. Each entry links to the request and shows when it was created. The section is part of the dashboard only while the course has Office Hours on under Course Settings → Feature flags — a course that runs help some other way switches that flag off, and the Office Hours nav entry is gone too, which is the quickest way to tell.

​

Discussion Activity

This section shows two blocks:

• Pinned Posts: Up to five pinned threads, newest first, with unread ones highlighted
• Unread Updates: Up to ten threads you follow that you have not read or that have new replies

The section is hidden when both blocks are empty. It is part of the dashboard only while the course has Discussion on under Course Settings → Feature flags; with that flag off the Discussion nav entry disappears as well.

​

Workflow Run Status

Track autograder and background job health. The cards here link to Workflow Runs:

• Last Hour: Recent workflow runs and error count
• Last 24 Hours: Daily workflow statistics
• Recent Errors: Quick access to failed workflow runs
