Dashboard

Find out how to see today's Lessons and anything that needs your attention at a glance.

Written by Raashi Thakran

The Dashboard is the first thing you see when you log in to Bobbin. It gives you an at-a-glance view of what's happening today and what needs your attention, so you can jump straight into the right place without searching around.

At the top of the Dashboard, you'll see a personalized greeting along with three key numbers:

  1. How many Lessons are happening today

  2. How many Lessons are scheduled this week

  3. How many Lessons need attention - for example, Lessons waiting for a Lesson Report to be completed

The Today's Lessons section shows every Lesson scheduled for the current day. For each Lesson, you can see:

  • The names of Tutors and Students on the Lesson

  • Whether each participant has joined yet, shown with a color indicator:

    • Green - the participant is present

    • Red - the participant hasn't joined yet

This updates automatically so you can monitor attendance in real time without leaving the Dashboard.

If a Student refreshes the page, switches device or briefly loses connection, they stay marked as present rather than flicking back to red - so you don't need to chase someone who's already in the room.

Live lessons

While any of your Lessons are running, the Live view link in the Today section shows how many are in progress. Click it to see each of your running Lessons and who has joined. The page refreshes itself every 15 seconds. You'll only see the Lessons you teach.

Lessons needing attention

If you have any Lessons in the Awaiting Report stage i.e. the session has ended but you haven't yet completed the Lesson Report, these will be flagged in your attention count. Click through to the relevant Lesson to complete the report. See Completing a Lesson Report.

The sample Course on a new account

A brand new Bobbin organization starts with one sample maths Course and Lesson, shown on its own card on the Dashboard. It's there so you can see how a Course, Lesson and Report fit together before real teaching arrives.

Sample data is kept out of your Lessons, Students and Courses lists, and out of search, so you won't run into it while working. Your agency can remove it whenever they like.

A daily summary on your phone

The Bobbin mobile app can send you a push notification each day summarizing the Lessons you have coming up, which saves opening the Dashboard to check. It's switched off unless your agency has enabled it.
