Figure 6.5: Dashboard

The Dashboard displays quick overviews of important data applicable to the level currently selected (Fig. 6.5). Each Dashboard consists of dynamic tiles that update when the Dashboard is opened. The Dashboard displays six tiles at a time; additional tiles can be found by clicking the navigational arrow button to the right or left of the Dashboard. The display order of the dashboard tiles can be changed by moving the tiles around on the screen.

To rearrange dashboard tiles on a tablet:

1. Press and hold your finger on the tablet screen over the title of the dashboard tile.
2. Drag the tile to the desired location.
3. Remove your finger from the screen to drop the tile in place. The rest of the tiles will automatically update their position relative to the moved tile.

To rearrange dashboard tiles on a computer or laptop:

1. Move the mouse over the title of the dashboard tile.
2. Click and hold. You will see the tile become slightly larger.
3. Move the tile to the desired location.
4. Unclick the mouse to drop the tile in place. The rest of the tiles will automatically update their position relative to the moved tile.

Many of the dashboard tiles are interactive. For example, moving the mouse around the pie chart on the ALEKS Pie Mastery dashboard tile will display the mastery levels for that particular slice. Additionally, many tiles will have links to other areas of the Instructor Module, including Reports, Course Summary, and the ALEKS Gradebook, to name a few.

You can return to the Dashboard for the level currently selected at any time by clicking the Dashboard Button to the left of the sub-navigation.
