Does Signal track students’ progress over time?

Yes, when students sign in.

• Each classroom shows trends across its sessions: how understanding and engagement are changing, and which ideas the class keeps getting wrong.
• Each student has a profile with their answers, flags and reflections across your sessions, so you can see whether a student who got a concept wrong last week has it now.

Guests have no account, so they can’t be reliably followed from one session to the next. If you want to track progress, ask students to sign in once a class uses Signal regularly.
