How to Start a Proxy Hours Session
Proxy Hour sessions are a feature available to teachers connected to organization accounts. Teachers can start a timed session when they want to record the time students spend working on assignments in class. Work completed during a session is counted as in-class work, while all other work is counted as outside-of-class work.
If your account admin has enabled Proxy Hours, and requires teachers to create sessions to track students’ in-class work, then follow the steps below to learn more!
