StudentKeeper includes default dashboards (i.e., District/School Overview, Filter Overview, AI Overview, and Student's Online History) that help administrators and teachers assess student behavior and engagement. If a teacher needs a specific dashboard that does not exist within StudentKeeper's default dashboards, administrators can create dashboards for teachers upon request. After creating a blank dashboard, the administrator can customize the dashboard according to the needs of the teacher.
