Introduction

This guide provides instructors with comprehensive instructions on how to set up and manage their virtual classrooms using Engageli, ensuring a seamless and engaging educational experience for their students.
Getting Started
Your Engageli Classroom will be already created and part of your course. All you will need to do is to click the link provided inside of the course and you will enter the Engageli Classroom.
This brief video is designed to give you an overview of the latest version of Engageli - Version 3.1
Take the Engageli Instructor Tour
Now that you have successfully launched your classroom, it is recommended that you take the Engageli Instructor Tour. This tour launches automatically the first time you enter a classroom. Students get a similar tour, but with different features specific to their needs.
A video of the Instructor tour is also below for rewatching purposes.
Once you have taken the Engageli Tour, it is time to jump in and use Engageli as an Instructor. To view all of the help articles and videos available to you as an instructor, we encourage you to visit the Engageli Support website for comprehensive training in using Engageli.
Administrative Tasks
Accessing The Admin Panel
Each Classroom has a dedicated Admin Panel that the Instructor can access before or after a live class. It is here where the instructor can setup Action Tags, Table Configurations, Classroom Preferences and also check Student Feedback and Activity.
From the Classroom Login screen, click Manage Class.
On the Class Portal screen, click Admin Portal at the top.
You'll be taken to the Admin Portal for your classroom to update the class configuration, adjust the roster, upload class documents and other material, access class data and analytics, etc.
Using Action Tags in Documents
Action Tags are QR codes that the Engageli Classroom can quickly identify and turn into actions such as polls, timers, seating arrangements, documents and more. Action Tags can be created in the Admin Panel and downloaded for placement in any document, PDF or PowerPoint Presentation.
To get tags that you can add to your slides and documents:
Go to the Admin Portal.
Select Action Tags Lab from the menu on the left.
Click on the tag type you would like to copy or download for use in your presentation.
Select from the various tag options and name your tag.
The name of the tag chosen above in step 4 will be displayed when the poll is activated in your presentation.
If you have a poll with three choices, you can rename the tag, download one for each choice, and then insert it into your presentation.
Alternatively, if you'd prefer, you can manually add text to your presentation above or below the tag to indicate each choice.
Click Copy or Download.
Once downloaded, you can add the tag to your presentation.
To learn more about Action Tags, watch this video which presents an overview of their use.
Setting Up Table Configurations
To add tables to the classroom:
Go to the Admin Portal.
Click Classes from the menu on the Left.
Select your class from the list of Active Classes or use the search field to find your class.
Click Presets.
Click the plus sign (+) icon on the right side of the screen.
Enter the number of tables you want to add. Tables can be added in multiples of 5.
Click Add.
Checking Student Feedback and Activity
Engageli measures both synchronous and asynchronous learner engagement, and participation data can be viewed in the Admin Portal or downloaded to help inform learner insights. Engageliʼs classroom data can provide valuable insight into how learners are engaging during synchronous and asynchronous class sessions, as well as identify opportunities for improvement in the design and delivery of instruction to make it more impactful. Individual learner data analysis can measure the impact of engagement on learner outcomes, and also help identify if a learner is falling behind.
All instructors have access to classroom engagement data in the Engageli portal. Follow these instructions to access Engageli’s Data Analytics in the Admin Portal:
Go to the Admin Portal.
Click Classes on the left to expand the menu.
Select your class or use the search field to find your class.
Click Analytics.
Select the engagement data you want to view.
Click an article to learn more about the classroom data available to all Engageli instructors.
Sharing Documents and PDF's
In Engageli, sharing documents and PDFs allows instructors and participants to collaborate effectively by ensuring everyone can access the necessary materials. It is preferential to pre-load documents into Engageli so it is easier to call them up when sharing. If you have a PowerPoint Presentation, it is advisable to convert that presentation to a PDF so it can be uploaded into the classroom before sharing.
Uploading Documents
Join the Engageli class as you would normally, but without students present.
Click the Present button located at the bottom of the screen. You will be provided a menu with a number of choices.
Click PDF Share from the Classroom activities group. Upload the PDF to share with the group by either dragging it into the drag and drop window or clicking to select the file.
Note: Click the Save to Content for next session check box to make sure your PDF is ready for when you go live in a class.
