In this section, we will expand upon the filtering options available to you in the left side panel.
Choosing a Filter
When checking challenge solutions, it may often be the case that you only wish to see a particular group of students' submissions rather than everyone's. You may accomplish this by filtering by your community defined member groups.
To choose a filter, click on the Challenges (All) label at the top of the left side panel:
After Clicking:
In this dropdown, you have three options:
-
All solutions: This is the default view. You can tell you are currently in this view by seeing if the label to the right of the word Challenges reads (All).
-
Solutions from my groups: This view will only show submissions from community members that exist in any of your community defined member groups. Please note that these groups are defined by each individual teacher, which means this view will be different from teacher to teacher. You can tell you are currently in this view by seeing if the label to the right of the word Challenges reads (My Groups).
-
Solutions from specific groups...: This will open a popup which will ask you which community you wish to select a group from, then which group you wish to see submissions from. This view may be useful in the case of wanting to only check one specific classroom of students' submissions. You can tell you are currently in this view by seeing if the label to the right of the word Challenges contains your group's name, for example, (ClassroomA).
Solutions from Specific Groups
To expand on the previous section, the specific group popup looks like this initially:
You will see that there is only one dropdown for choosing a community, and that the Filter button is disabled. This button will become clickable once a group has been chosen.
All you need to know to proceed is which community your group is defined in. For example, if you wanted to filter by members inside Example Group 1, and this group is inside Example Community A, then you would:
- Select Example Community A from the community dropdown
- When the second dropdown appears, select Example Group 1
- Click the Filter button
You can tell if you've successfully filtered by your group by checking the label to the right of the word Challenges:
Note: if the group's name is too long, to show on one line, it will be truncated like shown above
Setting a Default Filter
If you find yourself in the situation where you very often use one filter over every other including the default All solutions view, you may set your default view to the currently active filter at any time by clicking the Set current filter as my default view option in the main filter dropdown:
Now, every time when you visit the solution checking page, the default view will be whatever your current filter was. Please note that changes to your community member group setups may alter your set default view depending on what you had set it to.
If you wish to reset to the original default view: Simply choose the All solutions option from the filter dropdown, then select the Set current filter as my default view option again.
