# Utilizing the Instructor Dashboard

The Instructor Dashboard gives you a summary view of your day's session, current week and month, a donut graph of student progress, a and links to your own information.

The dashboard can be accessed at [here](https://lms.learnondemand.net/Instructor/Dashboard). As development of this feature continues, you will be able to access this and it will be available to be set as the default landing page for instructors.

## Today's Sessions

Today's Sessions contains a tab for each session scheduled for the day listing the Class name and session times with a button to copy the class link to your clipboard and a student progress graph.

A donut graph shows the percentage of students' progress on their class Activities:

1. **Not Started** - No activities have been opened
2. **In Progress** - The percentage of students' activities that have been launched
3. **Completed** - The percentage of students' activities that have been completed

## Week at a Glance

Week at a glance shows any classes in progress during that week. The class line shows across the Duration of the class from start to end date regardless of any days within that time on which the class does not meet. The class bar shows the class time, class name and the number of students enrolled over the total number of seats in the class.

## Month at a Glance

The month at a glance outlines the current date, highlights any instructor blockout days in orange, and shows a green dot for each session scheduled on a day. If more sessions are scheduled than can show on the day's space, a half circle displays to show there are additional sessions that cannot be seen. Clicking on a calendar day with sessions lists the date, session times and class names.

The calendar can show the previous month and up to 12 months into the future.

## Links

Links are available at the top of the dashboard. These are duplicates of the links on the user's profile quick links and in the Instructor Information section.

A class is a scheduled instructor-led event with a start and end time/date. Typically, these include lectures and hands on activities such as labs.

Activities are configured in the instructions editor and represented in the lab instructions by a replacement token. Activities fall into two broad categories: Questions and Automated.

- Questions are multiple choice or short answer questions.
- Automated Activities interact with the lab environment (Virtual Machine/Container/Cloud Platform).

The expected amount of time it will take a user to complete the lab. After setting the duration, the maximum duration of the lab will be set to 150% of the duration.
