Controlling Participant Progress (Solo Version)
In the Solo version, each student controls their own Simulate Year button. This means they can move from one round to the next at their own pace unless you choose to control it.
Key points
✅ You can control when students are allowed to simulate a round
❌ You cannot set a deadline by which they must finish a round
What you can control
Using the Planner, you can:
Choose when the simulation becomes available
Control when each new round (Year) becomes unlocked
If a round is locked, students will see the Simulate button but will not be able to use it until the date/time you set.
Setting up pacing control
- Log in to your instructor portal at https://www.praxar.com/pr/signin
Go to Groups and click Access for the correct course
Open the Planner tab
In Planner Settings > Simulation, enter a Date Available for each year you want to control
Example:
Year 1 unlocked on October 15 at 8am
Year 2 unlocked on October 22 at 8am
No date set for Year 3 → students may simulate Year 3 whenever they reach it
If no dates are set at all, students can complete all 10 rounds immediately.
Understanding the Simulate button
The Simulate button is always visible.
When a round is locked, clicking it will simply show that it’s unavailable until the scheduled date.
When the date/time arrives, the button becomes active.
This allows you to slow students down if you want them to take more time to analyze their results before moving forward.
