How Do I Make Sure That Assessments And Evidence On The App Transfer To The Web Version?


As long as you have a good internet connection, this will happen automatically.

To check whether all of your assessment and evidence has been synced, you can check the 'pending uploads'.

1. Click the 3 lines in the top left hand corner of any page of the app.


2. Select 'Pending Uploads' from the menu.



3. View any pending uploads as a list



If you have pending uploads, these have not been saved to Classroom Monitor.

PLEASE NOTE: Only assessments are stored in the logs. Photos, video and audio evidence are saved discretely on your device and will not be contained in the logs and cannot be restored.

Troubleshooting


My Assessment Data, Added Via The App, Is Not Showing In The Web Version

Check your pending uploads as described in 'How do I make sure that assessments and evidence on the app transfer to the web version'?

  • If you have pending uploads, then follow the steps in 'How do I make my pending uploads sync?' to make them successfully upload.
  • If you have no pending uploads, then send us a log of the data using the steps given above. Then restart the app. If the data still does not refresh and appear on the web version then contact us and inform us that you have sent a log file to us so that we can use that to add the assessment for you. We will also then investigate why this did not work for you.


Scores Are Not Being Updated Based On Assessment In The App


This is how the system has been designed to work. Please see question above: 'Do the pupil's scores in the web version use the assessments made on the app?'


My Pupils Are Not Showing In The App When 'Load Markbook' Is Selected


This could be for one of two reasons:
Either
a) The selected group has no pupils added to it in the web version of Classroom Monitor
b) The pupils in the group do not have a Key Stage added to their user profiles - this is more common in schools with no MIS import or CTF export/import facility i.e. some independent and international schools. You can add their key stage to the pupil following the steps on 
this page or contact us if this affects a lot of pupils and we will able to organise adding these in as a bulk edit.


The Objectives In My Selected Curriculum Are Not Matching With The Web Version


If changes are made to your curriculum online, you will need to log out and log back in to make sure that you have the most recent version on the app. Follow the steps above to logout safely. You can then log back in to re-select your curriculum and groups.


Groups And Curricula Are Loading But Expected Assessments Are Missing/Blank


This means that the app has not properly downloaded the assessment data. Check you have no pending uploads (see above) then logout of the app and log back in to re-select curricula and groups.


I Get A Server Error When I Attempt To Save Groups Or Curricula On Login


This could be due to either:
a) weak internet connectivity when signing in

There Is Duplicated Evidence Coming Through To Classroom Monitor From The App


This is an error which occurred for a few people with an old version of the app - please ensure you upload anything from pending uploads, send a data log to Classroom Monitor and then install the most recent version of the app from the app store/Google Play Store.


The Pupil Count In The 'Groups' Section Doesn't Match The Pupils I Can See In The Markbook. Why?


If the amount of pupils in the 'Groups' tab is different from the amount of pupils in the Assessment Markbook, the pupil is likely to have not been set a key stage. The Classroom Monitor Administrator will need to login to the Admin account and check in 'Management' / 'Pupil Management' to see if all of the pupils have been assigned a 'key stage'. If any pupil's are missing a key stage, click on the 'Edit' button on the pupil's row and go to '12. Select Key Stage'. Next, choose the correct key stage for the pupil, then click 'save'.
This pupil will now show in the app for you.
