About Insight 360 Cloud™

The Insight 360 Cloud software performs four main functions:
l Set up of class rosters, students, Favorites and tests
l Administration of self-paced tests
l Storage and reporting of class session data
l Presentation mode for formative assessment
Minimal setup is required before the Insight 360 Cloud system can be used for the first time. To utilize all of the benefits of the Insight 360 Cloud system, the following should be set up:
l Preferences
l Classes
l Students
l Favorites
l Tests
Most of these require a one-time setup and do not require editing until your classes or students change.
NOTE
You will use the Mobi 360 mobile interactive whiteboard or the Insight 360 Teacher app to teach class.
Administration of Self-paced Tests
During class, the only time you will need to open the Insight 360 Cloud software is to administer a self-paced test. A self-paced test presents a list of questions to the participant. Students answer each question at their own pace using their own Pulse 360 or ResponseCard NXT clickers, QT Device, the Insight 360 Student app or Web Access. Answer Key and ExamView® self­paced tests are administered from the My Tests tab.
Storage and Reporting of Class Session Data
Insight 360 Cloud stores several types of class session data while a session is running on the Mobi 360. When a class session is over, Insight 360 Cloud makes the class session data available for viewing, editing and reporting purposes. Class session data includes test and question scores, screenshots and reports. Class session data is available from the My Results tab.

How Insight 360 Cloud Works

The Mobi 360 or Insight 360 Teacher app allows you to control the Insight 360 Cloud software from a mobile platform. The teacher device itself does not retain any data, settings or other information. It presents data gathered from Insight 360 Cloud. It also allows you to control the lesson content and setup, and administer and view formative assessments while walking around the classroom. You can view anything that is collected from the student response devices at any time on the Mobi 360 or the Insight 360 Teacher app.
Communicating with Student Devices
Insight 360 Cloud communicates with the following clickers and their corresponding receivers:
l Pulse 360
l ResponseCard NXT
l QT Device
Insight 360 Cloud can also communicate via Wi-Fi or the school’s LAN when using the Insight 360 Student app or Insight 360 Cloud Web Access service. When questions are initiated from either the Mobi 360, Insight 360 Teacher app or Insight 360 Cloud (in the case of a self-paced test), the Insight 360 Cloud software collects data from the student response system. Self-paced tests can be sent to tablets via the Insight 360 Cloud software.
NOTE
To use the constructed response feature, the instructor must use the Insight 360 Teacher app.

Importing Students

You can use a comma-separated database file (CSV file) to add (import) student data into the Insight 360 Cloud database. You can then view and edit student data using the Insight 360 Cloud software.
The CSV file must contain the following fields: Last name, First name and Student ID.
The Insight 360 Cloud database holds six fields: the required fields listed above plus the following: Middle name, Grade level and Second Last name.
The import process maps the fields in the CSV file to the corresponding fields in the Insight 360 Cloud database. You can also assign the imported students into zero, one or multiple classes during the import.

NOTE
A student can only be imported once. If you attempt to import a student with the same Student ID as an existing student in your Insight 360 Cloud database, the import process will not import the duplicate student, but will move the duplicate student into the Student Import Exception Log. For more information, see Editing a Student in the Exception Log on page 26.
