Infused Learning Guide
A good place to start is watching the following 5 minute tutorial which very nicely displays both teacher screen and student screen at the same time, so that you have an idea regarding what teacher screen and student screen look like when using InfuseLearning. Watch this tutorial here.
The previous tutorial might be enough for you to start using Infuse Learning right away; however, I would recommend you watching the following tutorial as well which covers a couple more different aspects. You Tube TUTORIAL 5 min.
If you prefer to use screenshots, you can check out the following 9 different guides provided by Infuse Learning here. They explain step by step the following aspects:
-how to use infuse draw
-how to organize assessments with InfuseLearning
-how to use InfuseLink
-how to share quizzes with InfuseLearning
-how to get started with Infuse Learning
-how to import students/classes into InfuseLearning

Note: Make sure you use a modern browser (Motzilla Firefox, Google Chrome, or Safari, not Internet Explorer, which currently is not supported by this program). Also, note that when you or your students use the login links (http://student.infuselearning.com or http://teacher.infuse.learning.com), THERE IS NO WWW!!! If, your browser automatically inserts “www”, just get rid of it and you’ll be directed to the right screen. You might think this is not a critical tech tip this tip might save you a lot of time!

10 Great Accessibility Options provided by InfuseLearning
You can add classes or leave it as OPEN ENROLLMENT. I’ve always left the enrollment open, which means that all I needed to share with my students who were to take a quiz was the room number, and all students who accessed the site using that room number, participated in the quiz.
An awesome accessibility option offered by InfuseLearning is the option for the students to use the AUDIO feature, as well as the translation of the quiz questions and answer choices in 5 LANGUAGES (they get the audio feature with the translation, as well): Chinese, English, French, Russian, Spanish. Bellow the answer choice you can see “navigation”, “languages”, and ‘audio”.
Other things that are up to you, the administrator of the student response system, is to allow the students to shuffle the question, to filter the bad words, or to display the results. When you create a quiz, all you need to do is set them ON or OFF (shuffle question, bad words). If you choose to display the results, you’ll be able to show to the students while they are taking a quiz, whether they are getting right or wrong answers. Make sure you don’t embarrass the kids and they would love this feature because they get instant feedback! Green means ‘correct”, red means “wrong”.
Another great accessibility option is the QUICK ASSESSMENT. This allows you to check on student understanding on the spot. So, you don’t need to plan ahead at all! At any time during instruction you can decide to ask you class a question and what you can do is, for instance, choose a true/false type answer, or a multiple choice answer by writing on the board your answer choices (A, B, C, D). All you students need to do is open Infuse Learning and type A, B, C, or D and you’ll instantly see how many of your students got the right answer, and then you can decide whether you need to re-teach that concept or whether you can move on. Great quick tool to measure student understanding while teaching!
This screen can be seen on the left side of the teacher Infuse Learning homepage screen.
The image attachment is another great accessibility option. It allows teachers to be creative and design engaging quizzes. I used it even with newcomers (students who just started learning the language) by importing images and asking the kids to type the name the pictures or decide what the picture was by choosing among multiple choice items. Students loved it!
Also, one of the most distinct features is the option for students to reply by creating drawings or diagrams as responses on their iPads, Android tablets, laptops, or their desktop computers. This is a very popular feature among many math teachers or kindergarten teachers.
Last but not least, a great accessibility tool is the possibility to export the quiz results by either emailing them or downloading them (excel spreadsheet). This option represents a great tool to collect data for student progress monitoring and also for adjusting lesson delivery and lesson planning.
