Analytics, a la Shmoop.
If you’re already using Shmoop Classrooms…[Woman points to Shmoop classroom page]
…you know how great it can be to run some aspects of school from the comfort of your home.
However, the added accessibility means giving up a little bit of control.
You can’t physically keep tabs on your students. [Student with sticky note on head]
Or how much of the time they are actually working.
Have they been taking drills or practice exams? [Girl working from home]
Are they scheming to TP the homepage for their senior prank?
If only there was some magical tool that could track and display such information… [Explosion in space]
…something like Google Analytics, but for Shmoop…
Hey now!
Looks like we wished on the right star! Introducing: Shmoop Analytics.
When you buy a license from us…
…you get access to our test prep, online courses, and teacher passes. [Shmoop classroom web page]
It's real-time data of student and teacher usage on Shmoop.
Your administrative reports will display aggregated data for the whole licence...
...as well as information on each registered student. [Student information on shmoop web page]
To gain access to your administrator reports,
if you don't already have them,
just contact your shmoop account manager or, if you prefer, you could send smoke signals. [Smoke bellowing from apple device]
Or with better certainty, you could email us here at support@shmoop.com and we'll get right to you.
Say you're an administrator and want to invite a teacher to join the licence..
Go to the Teacher tab and click the email button. [Teachers tab highlighted on web page]
You can also invite principals to view their individual site usage by
clicking on the Principal tab within Analytics and then clicking on the Invite Principal button.
Anyone with a licence can view their analytics by visiting their Dashboard and
clicking on the Analytics button under Premium Resources. [Cursor hovering over analytics tab]
Your homepage, also called Analytics, provides you with all the vital stats your Shmoop licence offers.
In the top right corner, you'll see how many teachers and students have signed up for Shmoop
and how they've been using us.
Once your work your way down to the center of the page, you'll notice our Big Brother-like window. [Piechart]
Graphs showing you what your students are doing on Shmoop.
Note the finely color coded graphs and charts.
If your school has only purchased the SAT, for example, [Man carrying SAT]
there is only one slice of pie you're going to see here. Obviously.
In the Breakdown by Exam section there is an overall usage summary as well.
This chart delineates the total number of almost anything done in our test prep guides.
We don't track coffee spills however, but we do track drills, practice exams, [Man looks shocked at a coffee spill]
topics covered, and distribution of Shmoints.
If you're not familiar with Shmoints,
they're like our flavor of frequent flier miles for educational usage of Shmoop. [Student appears in classroom wearing sunglasses]
You win them by being bold or curious.
And then there are student reports.
Here you can see a list of student's performance in specific skills. [List of students skills and performance on shmoop web page]
If one of your students can use a little leg up
have them check out Math Shack where they can practice an infinite number of problems
in Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Geometry, and oh so much more.
Where they can earn Shmoints and knowledge by mastering various topics.
If you'd like to get all the percentages for a particular student
just click the student's name
and you'll see a road map of all the subject areas students have visited and how they've been performing. [List of areas visited by shmoop student]
If your hunger for data still isn't satisfied,
and we know you just aren't you when you're hungry for data, [Man turns green]
don't worry. We have an individual student search.
You can search by last name and find all the saved data and progress a student has accomplished in the prep.
Everything is here.
You're also able to print and save the report as an Excel file for later use. [Cursor hovers over print page button]
Shmoop lets you break down data by school, course, classrooms, teachers, or students.
So pick your poison...er...passion. Heh.
Looking for something in a flash?
Our search function makes it easy to find your student, teacher, or classroom. [Mouse cursor clicks search function]
Want your analytics awesomeness available offline?
Go ahead and use our nifty print button invented by geniuses.
Just choose a metric, select a date range, and viola! [Finger pointing to drop down boxes]
The information you desire is right there at your fingertips.
Or, if you’re more of a masher, right there at your elbows. [Elbows hitting each other in a ring]
Give Shmoop Analytics a try…
…and see your entire cyberclass come into focus.
Go ahead. Analyze this. [Transformer appears and explodes]
