What is the View Effort Page?

The View Effort page, found under Work programmes in the Teacher Dashboard, gives you a clear overview of how often each student is using Doodle over a selected time period. It compares their usage to their personal weekly target and provides valuable insights into their engagement.


What You’ll See on the View Effort Page

For each student, you’ll be able to view:

  • Total stars earned in the last 7 days

  • 🔥 Streak (how many consecutive days they’ve used Doodle)

  • ⏱️ Minutes spent on questions

  • 🎯 Target stars per week

  • ✅ Whether the student is in their green zone (on track)

Each column is sortable, making it easy to identify trends or students who may need support.

💡 Tip: We recommend checking this page weekly to ensure your class is actively using Doodle and staying within the green zone.
