Creating goals
As a student, you can access goals through the ‘My goals’ tab on your homepage.
To start creating your goals, follow these steps:
Step 1: Click on the '+' button located in the top-right corner of your screen.
Step 2: Enter a descriptive title for your goal and set a target date for achieving it.
Step 3: You can also break down your main goal into a series of milestones and assign target dates for each one of them. To do this, click on 'Add Milestone' and provide details.
Step 4: Once you have defined your goal and milestone(s), click on the 'Add' button on the top right corner to save all the changes.
Your newly created goal will now be displayed on your dashboard, allowing easy tracking of its progress.
Managing goals
On your goals dashboard, you'll find a comprehensive display of your goals and milestones, with corresponding deadlines and current status. These are organized into two tabs:
1. Ongoing: Here, you can access a list of goals and their associated milestones that are still in progress.
2. Completed: This tab showcases all the goals accomplished by you.
Now, let's explore the various actions you can perform on your goals:
Editing goals and milestones
By accessing the three-dot menu on a goal or milestone card, you have the option to edit both ongoing and completed goals using the edit feature. To delete a goal or milestone use the ‘Delete’ option under the 3-dots menu. Please note that you can only delete goals that are created by you.
Managing evidences for goals and milestones
Adding evidence is important as it provides proof of progress and achievements. To add evidence, click directly on the goal or milestone card. On the next screen, you can add evidence using the 'Add work' button. You can use the arrow icons to add or navigate through the evidences added to the other milestones linked to the goal.
On this screen, you also have the option to have a one-on-one conversation with your teacher regarding the progress of your goals using the chat box. You will also notice numbered badges on the goals and milestones card every time your teacher adds a comment or attaches any evidence on your behalf.
Marking goals and milestones as complete
To mark a goal and all associated milestones as complete, use the tick mark option against it. If all milestones of a goal are completed, it is automatically marked as achieved.
Once a goal is marked as complete by you or your teacher, it will automatically move to the 'Completed' tab. If necessary, you can mark a completed goal or milestone as incomplete using the same tick mark option and it’ll move back to the ‘Ongoing’ tab.
💡You will receive a notification whenever your teachers mark a goal as complete for you.
