Overview
This article explains how you can add an informal observation for one or more pupils through Comms Hub.
If you are a Sonar Tracker user and are looking for information about adding formal observations, see Sonar Tracker: How do I add a pupil observation?
To save time, when working in the Comms Hub Home page / Dashboard and you have a single class assigned to you, select Class, then proceed to Step 4 of the instructions below. If you have multiple classes assigned to you, select Classes, then proceed to Step 3:
Instructions
From within Comms Hub, follow these steps to add an informal observation:
- Select Awards and Activities.
- Select Classes.
- Select the pupils' Class.
- From within the Class:
-
Check one or more pupils whom you want to record the observation for (you can only see those pupils who are in your classes). You can select all pupils by checking the checkbox next to Name Selected.
If you tag multiple pupils into an observation, all parents of those pupil can react and comment. These comments are not private to their pupil, they will be visible to all parents of other children tagged in the observation.
If you would prefer parents were unable to see each other's reactions and comments, you must create a separate observation for each pupil.
-
- Select Observe.
- From Add Observation:
- Enter a Title.
- Enter a Description explaining why you are adding the informal observation for the selected pupil(s).
- Optionally, select a Subject.
-
Optionally Attach Photo (by either dragging and dropping one or more files onto the area, or by selecting the area and choosing one or more files from your device).
You can only add images to informal observations currently and not video.
- Select Save.
Outcome
The informal observation will be created for the pupils selected. Depending on how your system is configured, it will either be instantly published or sent for approval, then subsequently published.
