Beyond points and the leaderboard, Sanctumel Learning keeps a record of what each child is doing: the lessons they have read, the time they spend on them and how they score on quizzes. This tracking helps you spot a student who is falling behind, encourage one who is progressing and keep parents informed. Here is how to read that journey, student by student.
Follow a lesson live
Every published lesson shows a Progress panel that reveals where the class stands, in real time.
- Open Sanctumel Learning, then the Lessons tab.
- Open a lesson that is already published.
- Look for the Progress panel, below the lesson content.
There you will see:
- the number of students who have read the lesson out of the total (for example 7/12), with a progress bar,
- the class average reading time,
- the list of students, each marked as read or not yet read, with their reading time,
- if the lesson has a quiz, the score each student earned.
Tip: a student still marked "Not read yet" is a simple cue to nudge them, or to go through the lesson with them at the next session.
Find a student in a class
Above the list, a search field and a choice of order. The list is shown in pages of twenty.
The search is forgiving, because people type fast on a phone:
- accents are ignored: "jose" finds "José", "andre" finds "André";
- word order is free: "kalala jean" finds "Jean Kalala" just as well as "jean kalala".
Four orders are offered, each answering a different question: by last name for the roll call, by first name because that is how you know the children, by points to see who is leading, most recent to find the latest enrolments.
Tip: the counter under the list always says the real number. During a search it announces "3 students found out of 42" rather than "3 students", so a filtered list never reads as a class of three.
The Students tab lists the children in a class. Each student has an actions menu that brings together their tracking and communication with their parents:
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Student report | Opens the detailed progress sheet |
| Contact parent | Send a message, a code or a report to the parent |
| Link a parent | Attach the child to a parent's member record |
Note: children's data is sensitive. For a minor, sending a code, a message or a report is only possible once parental consent has been collected. Sanctumel blocks any sending while that consent is missing.
When a student becomes a member
A young person who has come of age wants to give their tithe, be assigned to a service or receive group mailings. All of that hangs on a member record, which the student does not necessarily have.
- Open the class, then the student's "…" menu.
- Choose This student becomes a member.
- The usual member form opens, already filled in with their name. Complete what you know.
- On save, the member record is created and linked to the student.
The student remains a student. A link is added, their journey is not closed: they keep following the lessons, taking their quizzes and appearing in the ranking.
The action only appears when two conditions are met: the student has no member record yet, and you have the right to create one. Becoming a member is a decision of the church, not an age threshold: nothing switches over on its own on a birthday.
Note: if the member record is created but the link fails, Sanctumel tells you. Link it from the student's record; do not create it again: two records for the same person split their giving and their history in two.
Read a student's report
The student report brings a child's whole journey together on a single sheet, ready to print or share.
It shows:
- a header in your church's colours, with the student's name and class,
- their key figures: total points, average quiz score, number of quizzes taken and number of lessons read,
- a results table, quiz by quiz: best score, number of correct answers and the date of the latest attempt.
Each quiz's best score is colour-coded (green, orange or red) by the level reached, so the whole picture reads at a glance.
Tip: when a quiz has been attempted several times, the report keeps the best attempt. It is the child's progress that is valued, not their first tries.
Share the report with parents
From a student's sheet, you can share their tracking without leaving Sanctumel.
- Enter the parent's email address or WhatsApp number (any linked address is suggested by default).
- Click Send: the parent receives their child's report.
- You can also Print the sheet or save it as PDF to hand it over in person.
Warning: always check that the email or number really belongs to the parent before sending. This is data about a child.
The parent window
Beyond the one-off report, you can give the parent a permanent follow-up link (valid 90 days): what their child is learning, where they stand, what they have earned, and their attendance.
- Open the student's record, then Parents.
- In the Parent window block, choose Copy link or Send via WhatsApp.
Note: the window only shows the child of the link, never the others. The rank is a number ("3rd of 12"), with no names. The PIN is not shown: the window informs, it does not give access to the student's account.
