Overview

The No Milestone Progress notifications are designed to alert teachers or staff when students are not completing expected milestones within an expected timeframe. This allows staff to easily be alerted if a student is not progressing as expected.

The Initial Diagnostic milestones are especially helpful to identify students that have not completed the initial diagnostic: students won't show up in the on-screen study path reports, so they may be easily overlooked when missing.

The Target Score not Reached notification is a great way to help ensure students have completed the expected study path before the end of the term. It also can be helpful in keeping students on pace when multiple study paths are utilized within one goal and need to be completed within a specific time frame.

Notification Settings

The available milestones are:

1. Initial Diagnostic Not Started Stage: allows users to be notified that a student has not begun the initial diagnostic. 
2. Initial Diagnostic Not Complete Stage: allows users to be notified that a student has begun but not yet completed the initial diagnostic. 
3. Study Path Not Started Stage: allows users to be notified that a student has completed the initial diagnostic but has not yet worked in their study path
4. Target Score Not Reached Stage: allows users to be notified that a student has not yet reached the scope's default target score. 

You can also indicate the appropriate elapsed time frame, entering a value and the unit of measure (minutes, hours, days, months): EdReady will check to see if the student has met the milestone when the specified amount of time has passed. If not, the notification will be generated.

You can select multiple milestones when creating this notification, but all will use the same elapsed time setting: if you need a different timeframe for a specific milestone, you will need to create a separate No Milestone Progress notification.

Adding this Notification

1. Navigate to the Study Path Options for this goal and scope (more details here), then click the Notifications button. A pop-up window will appear.

5. Enter the Elapsed Time and Unit, and select the notifications you wish to enable.
