Kami's Class View feature allows teachers to:
View the whole class' Kami Assignment files at the same time.
Monitor students' progress and performance with real-time monitoring.
Leave feedback using a range of multimedia tools.
Grade multiple students’ work simultaneously.
Leave a grade and have it sync automatically to Google Classroom.
Who can use Class View?
This feature is available to all Google Classroom teachers if they have the Kami Extension installed on their browsers.
Note that there are limitations if you aren't using our Google Classroom integration to create your assignments. You can still use Class View, but you'll miss out on many features. Please see below for a breakdown of what is possible for each:
How to use Kami Class View
1. Create or choose your Kami Assignment
To get started, you'll need a Kami Assignment in Google Classroom or a non-Kami assignment in Google Classroom set to make a copy for each student. You can create your Kami Assignment from Google Classroom or your Kami Dashboard.
💡 If you've already made an assignment, follow the steps below.
2. Access Class View in Google Classroom
There are four ways to access the Class View feature in Google Classroom. Just look for the Class View button in these four areas:
Go to Student Work and select the Kami Assignment you wish to use. You'll find the Kami Class View button on the right-hand side
In the Classwork tab, when you click on an assignment, it should be at the bottom
In the Instructions tab, you can find it to the right of the title of your assignment
In the Google Classroom Grader, you can locate it at the top right when viewing student work.
💭 The button usually takes a few seconds to appear. Remember, you need the Kami Extension installed to see it.
Click the Class View button to open the assignments in Kami. If you have multiple files in the Kami Assignment, it will prompt you to choose which file to open. You can make your choice, then click Open to confirm.
Checking students' real-time progress
View and give feedback on your students' work in real-time before they turn it in. This feature is included in any google classroom assignments and when opening the assignments in Class View.
3. Provide feedback in Class View
Each student's work is organized in columns, with pages displayed in rows. At the top of each column are the students' names, assignment status, and a space to enter grades.
For personalized feedback, we recommend using our multimedia Comment tools, which allow you to provide feedback in text, voice, video, or screen capture video.
Assignment status and what each status means
At the top of each student's submission, the assignment status will be displayed next to their name. Here's what each status means:
Sort and Filter features
Sort and Filter appear respectively at the top left of Class View, as seen in the images below:
The Sort option allows you to change the order in which you see the assignments. You have an option for Submission status (Which is covered in the above section), which will be the automatic selection when you open your Class View assignments.
You also have an alphabetical order option by First Name A to Z and Last Name A to Z. To see the most recently submitted assignment, select Last Submitted.
The Filter option limits what shows up on your Class View. All the filters are automatically off, and you can turn them on by ticking the check box to see specific options under the submission status.
Return All, Feature Control, and other features
First, you have a tool called Feature Control (1) at the top right-hand side. This tool allows you to turn on/off all student annotation tools available to them in the particular assignment you are viewing. It allows you to have more freedom in teaching live classes. For more information on the Feature Control tool, please check out this article
With the Insights (2) feature, you can view real-time student performance metrics to provide feedback or make edits to improve outcomes. Check out this article for more information.
Click Return all (3) to return grades to your students.
If you click the Toggle (4), you'll open the Edit Assignment option to update any changes to the assignment for all students. For more information, take a look at this article.
❗️ The only feature available for non-Kami assignments is feature control. You can't return, return all, use insights, or use the toggle. For more information on what you can use for non-Kami assignments, please see the graph here
Leave a grade and Return individual assignments
You can also return work individually. In the top-right corner of the student's assignment, leave a grade and click Return to confirm.
This feature is synced with Google Classroom, meaning the total grade points will be 100 by default unless you've changed the total in Google Classroom.
Remember, all your annotations are saved and synced in real-time, so students can also see your feedback if they choose to reopen their turned-in work.
❗️ You can only use this feature if you are using a Kami assignment. For more information on what is available for non-Kami assignments, please see the graph here
