Parent Dashboard

The parent dashboard is the home screen of the parent portal — a single page summarising everything you need to know about your child's learning. This page walks through every section so you know what each tile is showing you and what to do with the information.

Quick stats (top row)

A row of four small cards across the top, each showing a single number with a label and a smaller secondary line:

• Current streak — consecutive days your child has completed at least one lesson. The smaller line shows their longest-ever streak for context.
• Total points — gamification points earned across all courses. The smaller line shows badges unlocked.
• Classes attended — live classes attended this month. The smaller line shows how many were missed.
• Courses — total enrollments. The smaller line shows how many are completed.

These are designed to be glanceable — five seconds is enough to get the rough picture.

Enrolled courses

A list of every course your child is currently enrolled in (or has been enrolled in), with:

• Course title and total lesson count
• Progress bar showing how far through the course they are
• Status badge — In Progress, Completed, etc.
• Last accessed — when they last opened the course

If a course shows little or no progress over weeks, that's a useful conversation starter at home.

Recent grades

The most recent assignments your child has had graded — title, course, score, and a green/red Passed/Failed badge. Useful to spot:

• A trend in one course — three failures in a row in Algebra deserves attention
• Strong performances — celebrate them
• Recent slumps — sometimes coincide with stress or illness; worth checking in

Each row shows the score as score/maxScore (e.g. 42/50) so you can read the absolute numbers, not just pass/fail.

Upcoming assignments

The next few assignments due, with title, course, due date, and max points. This is your "what does my child need to be working on this week" view.

If you see something due tomorrow that your child hasn't started yet, gentle nudge time.

Live classes

Two parts:

Attendance summary

Four small stats:

• Attended this month
• Missed this month
• Upcoming sessions scheduled for your child
• Attendance % — calculated from attended ÷ (attended + missed)

A low attendance % is worth raising at parent-teacher meetings.

Upcoming sessions list

Below the stats, a list of the next live classes your child is expected to attend, with title, course, scheduled time, and duration. Useful if you want to make sure they're free and focused at the right times.

Certificates

A grid of every course your child has completed and earned a certificate for. Each tile shows the course title, issue date, certificate number, and (if applicable) expiry date.

Tap a certificate tile to see the full certificate. You can download or share the verification link — useful for sharing with extended family who'd like to see what your child has earned, or for adding to college applications later.

Empty states

If your child is brand new to OptiLearn, several sections may be empty:

• "No enrollments yet" in courses
• "No graded assignments yet" in grades
• "Nothing due right now" in upcoming
• "None yet" in certificates

These are normal — they fill in as your child uses the platform.

If a section seems empty but you'd expected data (e.g. "no courses" but you know your child is in classes), the most likely cause is that the child's enrollments haven't been provisioned in OptiCRM yet. Talk to your school's admin office.

Refreshing

The dashboard is live — every time you open it (or switch between children using the selector at the top), it fetches the latest data from the server. There's no manual refresh button.

What you won't see here

By design, the dashboard doesn't show:

• Your child's private notes or bookmarks (those are personal study aids, not parent-visible)
• Discussion posts your child has written (private to the course community)
• Internal feedback an instructor gave directly to your child (your child sees it; you'd hear about it from them or from a parent-teacher channel)
• Other children's data (each parent only sees their own)
