Manage your class and see how it is doing
Once your class is set up and your students are using an assistant, Sokra shows you what is happening so you do not have to guess. You can see who has started, who is active, and where the class as a whole is finding things hard, then step in where it counts. This article covers the day-to-day view of a class and how to keep its members up to date.
You do not need any technical knowledge. Everything here lives inside your workspace.
Before you start
You need a class that already has students and at least one published assistant they can use. If you have not set that up yet, start with adding your class, then build an assistant for it. The views below fill in as soon as your students begin working.
Build your view of the class
Keeping an eye on a class in Sokra is really three habits: check activity on an assistant, read into individual sessions when something stands out, and step back with a class-level summary before you plan your next lesson.
1. Open the assistant Overview
Open an assistant and go to its Overview. This is your class roster for that assistant. You see each Student, their Number of sessions and Number of messages, and their Last activity. A student marked No activity has not started yet, which is the quickest way to spot who needs a nudge.
2. See who is active and who has gone quiet
Use the Overview to tell apart the students who are working from those who have not begun or have stalled. Last submitted shows you who has finished and handed in a session. Sort or search with Search students to find a specific learner fast.
3. Read into a single session
When a student's activity stands out, in either direction, open their session to see the actual conversation and the feedback the assistant gave against your criteria. This is where you understand the "why" behind the numbers and decide whether to add your own note.
4. Step back with Class Feedback
Numbers per student tell you who, but Class Feedback tells you what. Once students have submitted sessions, it summarizes how the class is doing overall and where the same gap keeps coming up, so you can plan a follow-up that targets it.
5. Keep the class roster current
People join and leave classes through the year. On the People page you add new students, reset a password, or organize learners into groups, and through a Space you control which assistants each class can reach. Keeping this current is what keeps your Overview accurate.
Data & safety
The class views show only activity inside your workspace: sessions, message counts, and feedback against your criteria. Treat what you see as teaching information, not a public record. Student conversations stay private to your workspace, and you never need a student's private details in an assistant for any of these views to work.
Tips
- Start your week on the Overview and look for No activity first. A short nudge early is worth more than a long catch-up later.
- Open one or two real sessions before you trust a pattern. The conversation usually explains the numbers.
- Use Class Feedback to choose what to teach next, not to track individuals. It is built for the whole-class picture.
Troubleshooting
The Overview is empty. Confirm the assistant is published and added to the Space your class uses, and that students have actually opened it. The Overview fills in only once there is activity.
A student is missing from the Overview. The Overview lists a student once they have started working with the assistant, so a student who has not opened it yet will not appear. Check that the student, or their group, is added to the Space and can reach the assistant, then ask them to open it once.
Class Feedback will not generate. Students need to submit at least one session first. Open sessions that have not been handed in do not count toward class feedback.
