Put your class’s Search Coach data to work with Insights in Microsoft Teams. Evaluate what students are learning from Search Coach and where they may need additional support with at-a-glance views of their number of searches, how often they only open the first site that is returned, and how frequently they perform searches without opening any of the returned sites. You can also see which filters students are using and how often – helping you to determine what supports they need to build efficient and accurate search skills.   

Find Search Coach in Insights

  1. Navigate to the Insights tab of your desired class.

Searches by student

  • How many searches each student attempted

  • How often each student opened only the top site on the results page

  • How often each student performed searches without opening any results

  • A class average of all the above

From here you can tap any student's name and select Start a conversation to initiate a Teams chat.
