Canned Responses + SotW & Bonuses

Important Update About Canned Responses & Tags

As you know, with the release of Rubric 3.0 our tagging system has slightly changed. Not only have we added new tags like “Exceptional” and “Poor communication”, but we have also automated a few of our tags so they automatically are applied to certain sessions.

For example, using the canned response (known as “Auto Replies” on your tutor dashboard) for inappropriate behavior will automatically trigger our system to tag the session as ‘Inappropriate Behavior’ and block the student. Similarly, using the cheating canned response will automatically apply the “Cheating” tag to the session.

For this reason, it is extremely important that you are using canned responses when applicable so the appropriate tags are be applied. This means:

– Using the “Inappropriate Behavior” canned response when the student sends foul, threatening or sexual messages or images

– Using the “Cheating” canned response when a student admits to taking a non-practice test, exam or quiz.

Addressing Students + SotW & Bonuses

ADDRESSING STUDENTS BY NAME TO BUILD RAPPORT

Here’s an easy way to make a good session great: When a student’s first name is provided in their username, aim to address the student by name at the beginning of, and throughout the session. For example, saying “Good job!” is encouraging, but saying “Good job, John!” makes your praise more likely to motivate the student and make them feel good about their work.

Teaching online may be less personal than working with students face-to-face, but we can still do little things to build rapport with the student. Not only will this increase engagement, but it will also keep your students coming back to work with you again!
