Recording Activities on Navigate (Training Session)

A recorded training session on recording activities in Navigate, presented by the Navigate account support team.

What this session covers

• How students view their timeline and add their own activities
• How staff add an activity against an individual student
• How to add activities in bulk to a set group (department, course, tutor group)
• How to create and manage bespoke student groups
• Exporting a student's "CV data" from their profile

Students: adding an activity to your timeline

1. Open the My Timeline module to see every activity you or staff have recorded.
2. Click Add an activity and complete the form: date, time spent, activity name, whether it was useful, a description (from the drop-down), a reflection, skills developed, and any photo/video/document evidence.
3. Optionally attach the activity to a live target as evidence, then click Save.

Students can export everything via Profile > Download CV data, which produces a Word document of all activities, targets, placements and journal entries to reuse in CVs and applications.

Staff: adding an activity against one student

1. Use Quick clicks > search for a student (by name or number) to open the one-page student record.
2. Review their placements, assessment results, targets and activities; click any activity to see evidence and reflections.
3. Click Add activity and complete the same form to log it against that student.

Staff: adding activities in bulk

1. Open the number-of-students bubble on the home page, then set the top-left My students filter to All students.
2. Filter down by department, course, tutor group or campus to reach the group you want.
3. Important: check the page size at the bottom (defaults to 50). If your group is larger than the page size, increase it so every student is on one page — otherwise only the visible page is selected.
4. Use the top-left tick box to select everyone (deselect any non-attendees), then Actions > Add activity and complete the form.

Creating bespoke student groups

1. Open the Student groups module and click Add a student group; give it a name.
2. Click Add a student and search to add members from any tutor group, course or department.
3. Groups are private by default; use Access to share a group with a colleague so they can add activities too.
4. Add activities to the group from this page or the main grid using the same form.
