Lightspeed Classroom Updates

Lightspeed has launched a new Class Highlights feature. Class Highlights will appear minutes after the class session has ended. In the new Class Highlights tab, teachers will see the following: 

• Most accessed sites: Top accessed sites that class session, if they’re an educational site, and the number of students who accessed it. Helps teachers understand key tools or resources their class is engaged with.
• Most accessed non-educational sites: Top accessed sites that class session that were specifically non-educational. Helps teachers identify potential distractions or determine if these sites were used appropriately.
• Class insights: Predetermined prompts that teachers can select to get AI-generated insights about class engagement to inform how teachers can improve learning effectiveness.
  • Prompt 1: Help me understand when my students are most and least engaged during class.
  • Prompt 2: Help me identify websites that should be added to my block list to minimize distractions.
  • Prompt 3: Help me identify off-task students who might need extra support to stay on-task based on their browsing habits.

Considerations

• AI Interpretation: Remember that AI interprets the data and does not have full visibility into classroom dynamics. Teachers should use professional judgement along with classroom observations to verify and confirm the AI-generated insights.
• Data Privacy: The AI tool cannot access students' personally identifiable information (PII). To ensure student privacy, the analysis is based solely on anonymized data.
