How to View and Download Usage Reports (Teacher)
As a teacher, monitoring student engagement and progress is essential for data-driven instruction. Penda Science provides "Quick Reports" to help you analyze usage across your classes in just a few clicks.
The Usage Report provides an overview of class use, including:
Engagement Hours: Total time spent by the class.
Hours Per Student: The average time each student has spent on activities.
Active Students: The count of students who have logged in and completed work.
Engagement Hours Outside School: Data on student work completed after school hours.
⚠️ Note: Data on this report refreshes nightly and does not reflect real-time activity.
Step 1: Select Your Class
On the left-hand navigation bar, look under the My Classes section and click on the specific class you wish to view.
Step 2: Open Quick Reports
Scroll down, to the class sub-menu that appears, then click on Quick Reports.
Step 3: Navigate to the Usage Report
From the dropdown options, select Usage Report. This will take you to the report's summary dashboard.
Step 4 - View, Sort and/or Filter Data
Date Filters: Click the date fields at the top to select the start and end dates for your report timeframe.

Settings Panel
General Filter Options
Show Records with No Activity Toggle: Turn this toggle on to include students who haven't completed any assignments during the selected timeframe, or turn it off to only see active students.
Include Withdrawn Students Toggle: Toggle this on if you need to review historical data for students who have since been withdrawn from your classes or groups.
💡 Important: Once you have customized your selections, simply click the blue APPLY button at the bottom of the panel to update your report view. Note: You may need to scroll right to see all data.
Organizing the Main Table (Sorting by Headings)
Once your data updates on the screen, you can easily reorganize how it looks:
Sorting by Headings: Click on any of the column headers in the student table (such as STUDENT, GRADE, OVERALL USAGE, or OUTSIDE USAGE). Clicking a heading will sort the entire list in ascending or descending order based on that column, making it easy to group students by teacher, class period, or performance levels.
