Brainfuse Faculty Dashboard Guide
Faculty Dashboard allows instructors to assign students in their courses live tutoring sessions, Writing Lab submissions, and more. In addition, once a task is assigned to students, faculty are able to monitor the student’s progress of the task, from initial creation to completion.
How do I get started?
Your faculty dashboard username is automatically created through your college or university’s LMS (Learning Management System). The username should be created when you log in through your LMS and click on the Brainfuse link found in your LMS. Please check with your institution for additional details. At anytime, please feel free to contact our support team for assistance:
email: [email protected]
phone: 1-866-272-4638, Ext. 510.
The faculty view of Brainfuse is identical to the student view, except for the addition of a Faculty Dashboard tab. To begin, select Faculty Dashboard at the top of your Brainfuse homepage.
Through Faculty Dashboard, you can individualize and manage your student’s live tutoring or Writing Lab experience from Brainfuse.
