Schools can now monitor Internal Assessments (IA), External Assessments (EA), and CORE components from a single dashboard view, helping identify missing submissions and at-risk students earlier in the school year.

The new workflow also introduces IB upload requirement linking, allowing students and teachers to map uploaded files directly to IB submission requirements. This creates a clear audit trail and improves submission readiness before IBIS deadlines.

Overview

The new eCoursework Dashboard centralizes IA, EA, and CORE progress into a single roster view for DP Coordinators (DPCs), administrators, and homeroom advisors.

The dashboard displays student submission status across subjects and requirements, including:

• Pending submissions
• Submitted requirements
• Overdue coursework
• CORE completion tracking
• Submission coverage by subject and requirement

This feature reduces the need for coordinators to manually compile submission data from spreadsheets, teacher check-ins, and multiple pages across the platform. Schools can now monitor student IB coursework readiness from a single centralized dashboard with role-based visibility controls. To fully utilize the dashboard, schools should begin using the IB upload requirement linking workflow when collecting eCoursework submissions.

What's New

• Centralized eCoursework Dashboard for IA, EA, and CORE tracking
• Student file linking to IB upload requirements
• Teacher visibility into final submission coverage
• Role-based dashboard permissions for teachers and advisors
• Class-level submission status monitoring
• Support for multiple upload requirements per task
• Submission readiness indicators and progress icons
• Popover details for submission status and due dates
• Teacher ability to link or reassign files on behalf of students
• Automatic validation of IB-required file types
• Dashboard filtering by grade, subject group, and homeroom advisor

These updates build on previously released eCoursework workflows:

1. Teacher assigns task
2. Student submits task
3. Teacher assesses task (IA only)
4. Student or teacher links files to IB upload requirements
5. Dashboard monitors submission progress across the school

Admin Permission Controls

Settings > Security & Permissions > Teachers & Advisors

Available permission levels include:

• Full Access — View all students and subjects
• Homeroom Only — View assigned homeroom students only
• None — Dashboard hidden from the user

Tips & Best Practices

• Encourage students to complete upload requirement linking themselves to distribute workload and improve dashboard accuracy.
• Allocate class time for final eCoursework submission checks before deadlines.
• Verify uploaded files render correctly before linking them to IB requirements.
• Ensure the uploaded file type matches IB requirements for text, video, audio, or image submissions.
• Use the dashboard proactively in the weeks leading up to IBIS deadlines.
• Homeroom advisors can use dashboard insights to support at-risk students earlier.
• Teachers should review Final Submission coverage regularly during collection periods.

The dashboard is expected to see the highest usage during the months before IBIS submission deadlines for May and November examination sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the dashboard submit coursework directly to the IB?

No. Schools must still complete the official IBIS submission workflow separately.

Who can access the eCoursework Dashboard?

Access depends on role-based permissions configured by the school. Administrators and DPCs can view all students, while homeroom advisors can view only assigned students.

What do the dashboard status icons mean?

Pending indicates submissions are incomplete but before the deadline. Submitted means all required files are linked. Overdue means the deadline has passed without complete submission coverage.

Can students remove linked files?

No. Once linked, files are locked and require teacher intervention to unlink or reassign.

What happens if students upload the wrong file type?

The system validates uploaded file types against IB requirement rules and prevents incorrect file formats from being linked.

Is this feature enabled automatically?

Yes. The eCoursework Dashboard is available automatically at no additional cost, but schools should begin using the upload requirement linking workflow to fully benefit from it.

In Summary

• The eCoursework Dashboard centralizes IA, EA, and CORE submission tracking into one unified view.
• Students and teachers can now link uploaded files directly to IB upload requirements.
• Schools gain earlier visibility into at-risk submissions and reduce manual coordination workload.
