How do teachers use the Boost Student Extension?

The Boost Student Extension can be used by teachers to deliver targeted, rubric-aligned feedback to students. Teachers can view how each student engages with Boost and better understand trends at a glance through Insights Summaries.

1. Set up your class

   🔖 View How to Manage Classes for more details about setting up your class.

   To get started, navigate to the Manage Classes page and make sure your class has been set up through a roster integration or that you've created one yourself. You will need to invite students to join your class and ensure that Brisk Boost has been enabled. 

    

2. Create your assignment 

   Select your class and click "Create Assignment" at the top of your student list. Enter your assignment details and ensure it is enabled for students to view. 

   We highly recommend adding an assignment rubric to personalize Brisk Boost feedback. Brisk will use this rubric to tailor feedback on student submissions based on your exact criteria. 

   

3. Review student feedback

   🔖 View this article to see how students work with the Boost Extension.

   You can review all assignments by clicking "View Extension Assignments" from your class. 

   

   

   Clicking into an assignment will show statistics for how each student has engaged with Boost. You will also see an Insights Summary that identifies themes across all student submissions. The insights summary can also be downloaded for records or sharing.

   

Clicking a student's submission will open their Google Doc so you can review how they engaged with Boost's feedback. Students can mark each comment as Agreed, Disagreed, or leave it Unresolved. You will see a summary of that engagement at the the top of the Boost Comments panel. 

Teachers can also use the Inspect Writing tool to view even more details about how the student engaged with the document. This can be used to help verify academic integrity and understand student writing processes.
