Managing Student Activity: Inactivity Timeout, Proxy Hours & Ellii Solo Session Reports
Inactivity Timeout
As an admin, you have the ability to change automatic student logout based on inactivity with options for 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour and 2 hours (default).
Step 1
To do this, you will click on the profile icon in the top right corner and select Account.
Step 2
You will click on Edit by Student inactivity timeout under Settings to change the inactivity timeout.
Proxy Hours
You can also turn on proxy hours tracking as the administrator of a group account. This allows for the ability to distinguish in-class versus out-of-class activity.
Step 1
This is also done from the Account page. You will click on Edit by Proxy Hours tracking to turn this feature on.
Step 2
Students will see the following question when opening a task from a lesson. The selection is remembered for 2 hours. After 2 hours, the student will be prompted once more.
If the student logs in from a different device, they will be prompted with this question again. This separation of time tracked will show up on time-on-task reports, where teachers and admins will be able to see the total time, and the breakdown between in and out of class.
