My Courses
What students tapped, what you corrected,
and the pages the class turned to.
Soar is classroom software that installs on your computer. This page covers one thing: when a class ends, what it leaves you.
In class, that band of signals reaches only you.
When a class ends, these three things stay in the course. Whether to adjust anything because of them is your call.
During class you press nothing
A student walks into this classroom and their name lands on the roster on its own — attendance is a by-product of walking in. That attendance record is read-only for you: no interface anywhere can write a row on someone else's behalf.
Roster
Paste a block; it pulls out names and student IDs
CSV, Word, a few lines copied by hand — paste them in or pick a file. Rows it got wrong can be deleted before you confirm; nothing enters the roster until you press confirm.
Students claim their own names
The first time a student enters this course's classroom, they search the roster for themselves — Korean, English, Chinese characters; a partial match is enough to find it. Once claimed, they walk straight in from then on. Each row can be claimed only once; enter the same name on two rows on purpose and that is two seats.
Attendance
Attended · Did not enter · No name matched
Attended means they came in for this session. Did not enter means we did not see them come into this classroom — we do not write “absent” here. No name matched means someone is present who has not claimed a name; tap them, then tap who they are on the roster.
Late only counts past 15 minutes. The number is computed once on the server; the clients only display it.
The “mark them present” button does not exist. Putting a row into the attendance record would be forging their arrival.
Raised hands go to the top
Raising a hand, calling on someone, taking the microphone back: all of it sits in the block under the roster. When hands are up, those students are listed above the call-on button. When no hands are up you can draw one at random — and if there is nobody to draw, it says so instead of forcing one.
Classroom audio only passes through. What stays is text.
After class
During class, you see three numbers
A student taps one line of the captions and, on your side, the count for that sentence goes up by one — ten people on one sentence counts as one spot here, not ten. Hands raised, questions nobody answered, places where people got stuck: when all three are 0, none of them are drawn.
One class, laid out in segments
The session is split into segments by topic. Each segment's header says: from which minute to which minute, which page of the book, how many sentences you corrected, how many places people fell behind. A field with nothing in it does not appear.
“Unknown” means unknown
These fields are computed from the copy of the captions kept on this computer of yours. On another device, or after the cache has been cleared, if it cannot reach them it says “unknown” instead of writing 0.
After-class teaching suggestions are off by default. If you want them, you turn them on yourself.
Everything on this page is a fact from the record.
No scores, no rankings, no “you went too fast in that part.”
