Join a live online class by start time
When to use this goal
For students in online or hybrid courses who log in late to live sessions. Present levels, not grade, decide fit.
- Baseline
- Compare platform join times with scheduled start times for two weeks. Separate late joins caused by connection problems from those caused by losing track of time.
- Tips
- Platform attendance logs give the data for free. Latency is the time from the scheduled start to joining; joining early counts as meeting the target. Let the student choose the reminder alarm time.
- Limits
- Sessions lost to connectivity or device problems are excluded and noted. Does not measure taking part once joined; pair with an online attention goal if needed.

Goal
By the annual IEP review date, when the scheduled start time of a live online class arrives, at home, the student will open the class link and join the session independently within 60 seconds, on 4 of 5 consecutive live sessions, as measured by latency recording collected weekly, from attendance logs.
Baseline: 600 seconds.

- Start timing when the cue ends (for example, the end of the direction). Stop when the defined response begins.
- Record latency in seconds. Shorter latency means faster starts.
- Use a stopwatch or a timer app. Avoid estimating from the clock when measuring seconds.
