Progress Tracking

Penmate provides visual dashboards that help you track student performance over time. Instead of reviewing individual assignments in isolation, you can see trends, patterns, and areas that need attention.

What You Can Track

Individual Student Progress

For each student, you can see:

• Score history — how their scores in each criterion have changed across assignments
• Strengths and weaknesses — which criteria they consistently perform well or poorly in
• Improvement trends — whether they’re getting better, staying the same, or declining
• Submission history — all their past submissions with scores and feedback

Class Overview

At the class level, you can see:

• Submission status — who has submitted and who hasn’t for the current assignment
• Class averages — how the class performs overall across each criterion
• Performance distribution — how scores are spread across students
• Deadline tracking — upcoming and past deadlines

How to Use Progress Data

For Teaching

• Identify common weaknesses — if most students score low on Organisation, plan a focused lesson
• Differentiate instruction — spot students who need extra support or greater challenge
• Measure the impact of your teaching — see if scores improve after a specific lesson or activity

For Reporting

• Report cards — use score trends and averages to support end-of-term grades
• Parent meetings — show concrete data on student progress
• Department reviews — demonstrate teaching effectiveness with measurable outcomes

For Students

• Self-awareness — students can see their own progress and understand where they’re improving
• Motivation — visible improvement over time encourages continued effort
• Targeted practice — students can focus on their weakest criteria
