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

At the top of the dashboard, summary cards display:
- Assignments Needing Attention: Total count of assignments requiring action
