How to Set Work & Track Student Progress | BizEdMadeSimple

Main ideas and lessons

• Purpose of the video/platform: Explains how teachers can use the Biz Ed Made Simple platform to assign student work and track progress, with the goal of saving teacher time.

Why assign this kind of work? (Key reasons)

1. Homework: Assign course content—especially material that students can review efficiently using videos and guided modules.

2. Flipped learning: Students master content outside class, then class time is used to build on what they learned.

3. Prolonged absences / catching up reliably: The platform is positioned as a solution for students who miss school for long periods. Instead of vague “catch up,” teachers can:

   • Assign the full course/units they missed
   • Verify students accessed the material and completed required checks (videos + questions + tests)

Methodology (step-by-step): How to use Biz Ed Made Simple

A) Assigning work

• Log in to the teacher dashboard.
• Create/assign tasks (described as easy to set up).
• Choose the course/topic based on curriculum structure (example: IGCSE).
  • The course is organized according to curriculum points.
  • Teachers can direct students to cover a specific segment, e.g., “IGCSE Business Studies 1.1.”
• Assignment distribution (optional: Google Classroom):
  • Copy/paste the platform link into Google Classroom.
  • Add an instruction comment such as:

    “This is our course. Go directly to the link and follow it.”

B) Ensuring students complete the assignment correctly

When a teacher assigns an assignment, students must:

• Complete it as a full course
• Watch a training video first (as part of the learning process)
• Answer questions from past exams
• Take a test

Completion as evidence of participation:

• The platform design links test access/performance to video completion time.
• If a student doesn’t reach the test, it implies they likely didn’t spend enough time watching the video.

C) Tracking progress and performance (teacher control panel)

• Use the teacher control panel for tracking.
• The video recommends focusing on one main section for simplicity:
  • Test Report

Reporting workflow:

• Go to “Test Report”
• Then select “Customize Report”

Filtering options include:

• Select a specific student or group (or default to the whole class)
• Select the course assigned (or all courses)
• Select all tests
• Set the date (and other available parameters)

After applying filters:

• View a list of students with their test scores
• Check indicators such as:
  • Whether students achieved 100%
  • How much time they spent

Additional drill-down options:

• Select an individual student to view average scores
• For detailed analysis (e.g., why a student scored 66%):
  • Open the detailed test performance report
  • Review metrics such as time spent (example shown: 58 seconds)
  • See question results (example: 20 out of 30)
  • View which answers were incorrect
