Use this article to get familiar with navigation and key features available to you in Beacon.
Jump To:
Dashboard
The Dashboard is your default home screen in Beacon. It surfaces tasks that need your attention, organized by status: past-due tasks, newly assigned tasks, and tasks with new ratings or comments. Any task row can be opened directly from the Dashboard, and tasks can be dismissed individually or all at once.
Learning Experiences
The Learning Experiences tab displays all of your current LXs in card format. Each card shows the name of the LX and the facilitator.
To view LXs you've previously been enrolled in, select the Ended Learning Experiences dropdown.
Selecting an LX opens it. Inside an LX, you have two navigation tabs: Stream and Tasks.
Stream
The Stream displays the LX image and description, upcoming tasks, recent activity, and any posts your facilitator has shared.
Tasks
The Tasks tab shows the full task list for the LX, exactly as your facilitator sees it. From here you can view due dates and task status. Selecting a task opens it, where you can view task information including the rating scale, ratings, comments, and instructions, and submit evidence.
My Tasks
My Tasks shows every task you've been assigned across all of your Learning Experiences, regardless of status. Use the filters at the top to narrow your view by:
- Evidence submitted — tasks where you have submitted evidence
- Learning Experience — tasks filtered by a specific LX
- Competency code — tasks associated with a specific competency
- Status — tasks filtered by their current status (e.g., Assigned, Submitted, Completed)
Filters can be used individually or in combination. Selecting any task opens it for more detail.
Progress
The Progress tab displays all of the competency areas you are enrolled in. For each competency area, you can view your current performance, growth, and progress, which portfolio level you are working in, and how much of your evidence has been rated out of the total evidence requirements.
Selecting a competency area opens a detailed view of your progress at the competency and skill level. From here you can view ratings by task, and select into any task to see current and historical ratings.
