Automated Method Learning Milestone Alerts

The moment a student's composite score in Method Learning crosses a milestone toward their goal, WebRun posts an alert to the instructor's Slack channel and drafts a congratulatory email in Gmail naming the milestone, for your team to review before it reaches the family.

In short

How do I get alerted when a student hits a score goal milestone?

WebRun checks Method Learning for students whose composite score just crossed a milestone toward their goal, posts an alert to the assigned instructor's Slack channel, and drafts a congratulatory note home in Gmail naming the milestone. Your team reviews and sends the note, so families hear the good news quickly without instructors having to spot every milestone by hand.

  • Instructors hear about a milestone the same hour it happens
  • Families get a congratulatory note without your team writing one from scratch
  • No milestone goes unnoticed because a score wasn't checked that week

Questions, answered

Will the family hear about it before we review the note?

No. WebRun only drafts the note home in Gmail. Your team reviews and sends it, the instructor alert in Slack is internal only.

How does it know what counts as a milestone?

It compares each student's latest composite score in Method Learning against the goal score on file, and flags set points along the way, like halfway to goal or goal met.

What if a student doesn't have a goal score set?

It skips the milestone check for that student until a goal score is entered in Method Learning.
