With CodeHS Pro, you can track your students' real-time activity, as well as their attendance, first login time each day, most recent activity, and total time spent on CodeHS.

The Realtime Activity Dashboard

The Realtime Activity Dashboard allows you to see the current activity of students in your section. As students open, work on, and submit their assignments, the Dashboard will update in real time. Clicking on the name of an assignment will take you to that student's assignment.

To navigate to the Dashboard, click on Realtime under the Classroom category in the lefthand navigation menu, or click here to jump directly to it. To learn more about tracking progress and grades with the Realtime Activity Dashboard, click here.

Viewing Section Attendance

To view attendance for a section, first navigate to the Roster app by clicking on Roster underneath the Classroom category in the lefthand navigation menu:

On the Roster app, you'll be able to view students' attendance by clicking on the Attendance button above your list of students:

Understanding Section Attendance

  • Students are marked Present if they log into CodeHS on the selected date

  • Time first active is the time when they logged into CodeHS 

  • Most recent activity is the last time that a student worked on a CodeHS activity

  • Total time is the total amount of time a student spent on CodeHS that day
