How do I see how Many Students, Staff or Families Have Responded (Participation) While a Pulse is LIVE?

Updated on

This article will walk through how to view Participant while a Pulse is LIVE.

In Pulse surveys we are not trying to generalize from a relatively small sample to a much larger population like we often are in customer or political research. With Pulses we are mostly talking about participation rates well above 50% (which is about the rate achieved in US elections) and generally in the 65-85% range. These are rates that political scientists and market researchers can only dream of.

There are two places to see how many students (or parents or staff members) have responded during a LIVE Pulse: The Participation Report and Latest Activity.

NOTE: Participation is the percent of the students who have responded out of the total number of students who have been selected to receive the Pulse. For example, if you've selected your Pulse to be sent to 1,000 students and 500 of them respond, your participation will be 50%.

Participation Report

When looking at the Launchpad, any Pulse that currently has an open window will display a green LIVE icon on its card.

1.  Select the Card of the LIVE Pulse which will take you to the Participation Report.

There are three options to filter the Participation Report.

1. Status allows you to filter by: All, Responded and Not Response.

2.  Filters allows you to filter by the type of Demographics you are bringing into Kelvin for the survey type.

3. The three dots allows you to see the data for a Pulse Student Survey by teacher or by school.

Latest Activity

1.  Select the Card of the LIVE Pulse which will take you to the Participation Report.

1. Select Latest Activity once on the Participation Report Page of the LIVE Pulse.

Scroll down to the Currently asking section where you will see:

1.  The number of individuals that you are asking, the number of questions and the window of the LIVE Pulse.

2. The percent of individuals that have participated.

NOTE: If you do not see the Participation listed here, it means there is no open window (LIVE) Pulse.
