How do students view comments?

How students access and read your comments

Written by Soomo Instructor Support

Overview and video tutorial

When you comment on, pin, reset, or unpost student work, the student will receive a notification in the upper-right corner of their webtext.


Comment notifications

Students can click on any notification to navigate to the relevant short-answer question, response board, or writing template.

Expanded webtext notifications panel with an arrow pointing to the Notifications button.

On-page feedback

When you leave a comment on a student’s work, they can click “View Comment” below the question on the webtext page to see your feedback. Students can only see the comments left on their own work.

Response-board question in the webtext with a comment from the instructor. This notification includes a “View comment” button.

Comment status in Analytics

When you add a comment, you’ll see “Unseen” next to the comment in Analytics. As soon as a student views the comment, it’ll switch to “Seen.”
