Insight FAQ

Watch the following tutorial for step-by-step instructions on how to set up your Insight account.

Problem: “When I click ‘Take Test’ on my IPad, nothing happens.”

Solution: Default settings for the Safari App on an IPad are set to block pop-up windows (pop-up windows are necessary to launch a test on Insight). To fix this, you will need to disable the “Block Pop-ups” permission in the Safari App. To do this, go to Settings > Safari. Under General, click on the “Block Pop-ups” toggle to disable pop-ups (it will turn from green to gray). View the video below for additional help.

Navigate to the Students tab, then hover over the blue Add/Import button and select either New Student or Bulk Import. To add a singular student, choose New Student, fill out the required and optional fields, and then click Create Student. To import a student database, choose the Bulk Import option. We recommend downloading the sample spreadsheet to make sure your database is set up properly for Insight. When your spreadsheet is done, drag and drop the file (or upload) to import. In the new screen, drag and drop the red labels to their corresponding fields to ensure that the database is properly imported into Insight. Once you are finished, click Import Students. A full list of students should now appear in the All Students tab.

First, make sure that you have added all users under the Users tab. Do not skip this step as it is essential to synching students to users when bulk importing students. Next, under the Students tab, choose Bulk Import. Using the provided example spreadsheet as a template, make sure you include an email address for each user added to your Insight account in the Teacher Email column, for every student. If you are an individual user, make sure to list the email associated with your Insight account under the Teacher Email column for each student you want to automatically assign to you. To finish, follow the instructions for completing the bulk student import. When done, the entire student database should appear in the All Students tab for all users associated with the account, and individual users should see their assigned students under their My Students tab.

If students have not been automatically added to your My Students tab, you must manually add them. To add students to My Students, navigate to the All Students tab. You will see the full list of students who have been added to Insight. To add a student, click the box on the far left of the student(s) name. To select all students displayed, click on the box at the top of the column. For larger databases, you may find it helpful to sort students according to grade, school, or district, or you can use the search feature to find individual students. From the pop-up box that appears at the bottom of the screen, click the green Add to My Students button. An alert will appear at the top right of your browser window notifying you that the student has been successfully added.

The My Students tab functions as a data rich student roster for users. When students are added to this tab, users can click on an individual student’s name and access an unlimited view to all the data collected for them on Insight, including test history, benchmark scores, progress monitoring reports, instruction recommendations and more. This comprehensive data is not accessible from the All Students tab. Therefore, it is important to build your My Students roster. It is also helpful to note that only the data from students that have been added to My Students will appear in the Reports tab. Due to FERPA, only students that a user has stewardship over should be added to your My Students tab.

• The My Students tab functions as a data rich student roster for users. When students are added to My Students, users can click on an individual student’s name and access a comprehensive view of all the data collected for them on Insight, including test history, benchmark scores, progress monitoring reports, instruction recommendations and more. It is also helpful to note that only the data from students that have been added to My Students will appear in the Reports tab. 
• The My Groups tab allows users to organize students into groups. There is no limit to the number of groups you can create to organize students. Users can easily sort students according to risk and create groups for specific tier 1, tier 2 or tier 3 instruction. Student data accessed from the My Groups tab is comprehensive.
• The All Students tab shows a complete list of all students that have been imported into Insight. For individual user accounts, this list may be small. For school/district/organization accounts, this list could include hundreds or thousands of students. From this tab you can sort students according to name, student ID, grade, district, and school. From here, you can add students to My Students, start an assessment, edit basic student information, and archive a student. Student data accessed from the All Students tab is limited to basic information like student name, student ID, etc. 

To remove a student from your My Students tab, navigate to the My Students tab and locate the student you want to remove. Under the Action heading in the student’s row, click on the grey icon on the far right labeled Remove Student when you hover over it. The student will be removed from your My Students tab, but will still remain in the All Students tab. All data will be maintained, regardless of being removed from the My Students tab.

Navigate to Users tab, then hover over the blue Add/Import button and select either New User or Bulk Import. To add a singular student, choose New Student, fill out the required and optional fields, and then click Create Student. To import a student database, choose the Bulk Import option. We recommend downloading the sample spreadsheet to make sure your database is set up properly for Insight. When your spreadsheet is done, drag and drop it (or upload) to import. In the new screen, drag and drop the red labels to their corresponding fields in order to make sure that database is properly imported into Insight. Once you are finished, click Import Students. 

When a new user is added to an account after students have already been added into Insight, the new user will need to add their assigned students to their My Students tab. At this time, account owners cannot assign students to new users.

Individual user accounts can have up to 2 additional users added to test students and access student data. School/district/organization accounts allow for unlimited users.

Once a student has been administered an assessment on Insight, the student, and their scores should be listed in the Reports tab. If you do not see a particular student (or any students at all), and they have been tested, there are two possible reasons.

1. Check to make sure the students that have been tested have been added to the My Students tab. Only students that have been added to My Students will be displayed in the Reports tab. 
2. Check the filter settings of the Reports. The data that is displayed could be showing data from an inactive or incorrect academic period or time of year. To change what data is displayed, click on the gray Filter button on the top right of the page, and choose the desired time of year or academic period from the dropdowns for which you are wanting to display.

• Only data from students who have been added to My Students will appear on the Reports tab.
• The top row of the Reports screen informs users of the academic period and time of year for the data displayed below. This can be changed by clicking on the gray Filter button at the top of the screen, and changing the display criteria. 
• The circular charts show a collective risk overview representing all students who have been administered subtests of the CUBED-3. You will see how many students are represented in the circle graphs at the bottom of the circle, and what percentage of the group is at low risk, moderate risk, and high risk. This at-a-glance view of how your students are performing on specific language or decoding targets can help inform instruction.
• The student table shows individual student risk data for all the subtests of the CUBED-3 that have been administered. N/A indicates that a particular subtest has not been yet administered.  While this is a limited view of actual test scores, it provides a helpful at-a-glance view of how individual students are performing on each subtest of the CUBED-3. From this table, you can filter and sort students according to risk level for each subtest. This can be helpful to build intervention groups for instruction.
• For a more detailed look at a student’s scores, click on their name.

To filter the students according to risk level from the Reports tab, click on one (or more) of the risk boxes under the CUBED-3 subtest titles at the top of the table. For instance, if you select the high risk box for NLM Retell, and the high risk box for NLM Questions, only the students whose scores were high risk on both of these targets will be displayed. To add these students to a group, click the boxes to the left of the students’ ID numbers (or click the box at the top of the column in the table head to select all students). A pop-up box at the bottom of the screen will appear where you can either select a group, or create a new group by typing the group name, and then click the Add to Groups button. An alert will pop up notifying you that a new group has been created. This new group will appear under your Students > My Students tab.

Once a student is administered an assessment for the first time, a license is used. Each used license represents a student that has been tested. You can view all used and available licenses under the Licenses tab.

Navigate to Students tab, then to My Students. Click on the student’s name you’d like to manually enter scores for. In the pop-up window, click the Manually Add Test Score button at the top right. Select the time of year from the dropdown, then click the Manually Add Score button next to the test you’d like to add scores to. In the new pop-up screen, click the green Add Score button and add scores for whatever section of the test you had previously collected data for.

Navigate to My Students from the Students tab. Click on the name of the student you need to edit scores for. In the pop-up window, click on the Test History tab. Then, select the test for which you will edit scores. Click on the Edit Test icon under the Action heading. In the Assessment Scores log, edit scores as needed for any/all of the assessment targets. When finished, scroll to the bottom of the window and click Update Scores.

We recommend thoroughly reading the CUBED-3 Manual. It has in-depth information on how and when to administer the CUBED-3 subtests, detailed scoring instructions with examples, and score interpretation recommendations. The CUBED-3 Manual can be downloaded here. Additionally, we have subtest-specific administration demonstrations here.

Language Dynamics Group offers expert training from implementation specialists on the administration and scoring of the CUBED-3. Training options include individual or group training in either live on-site, or live/asynchronous web-streaming formats. Click here for options.

Some of the subtests for the CUBED-3 require student stimulus pages. For those assessments, there are three options for you to access the stimulus materials.

• Option 1: Download, print, and bind the Benchmark Stimulus Booklet and Progress Monitoring Stimulus Booklet. 
• Option 2: You can download a PDF of a single stimulus page from the assessment window of the test on Insight. Once you have opened the assessment, click on the Download PDF button directly under the assessment logo at the top left of the page. Click on this link to download and print the student stimulus page for a student.
• Option 3: Login to your Insight account on a secondary device (tablet, laptop, etc), launch the same assessment you are administering to the student, and click the green “Enter Student Reading Mode” button. Place the laptop or tablet in front of the student. 

While it is not required, we recommend users record the retell portion of the NLM Reading or the NLM Listening subtests of the CUBED-3 to help with scoring accuracy. Doing so can greatly increase scoring accuracy and fidelity, especially with users who are new to scoring these subtests. Even experienced users may find it helpful to review the audio to make sure all the targets of the retell were captured and scored.
