Search Content
The Search Content feature in the Toolbox works to find a word or phrase in the learning material. Simply enter a word or phrase into the search box and the system will return the activity(s) in which that term can be found.
Watch Feature
The Watch feature, although not directly a Toolbox item, is located proximally to the toolbox. This feature can provide additional insight insight, similar to a ticker-tape display, demonstrating the activity of the students throughout the assignment. The work of students is displayed chronologically by date and by the student; meaning one student’s activities on that date will be listed and then it will go to another student and their activities. This is a good window into the actual engagement with the content in KnowledgePath, as it shows how often and what the students are doing at a more granular level than simply listing the time spent.
