How do I spot stuck students during a live Desmos activity?
WebRun checks your Desmos teacher dashboard every few minutes during a live activity for students stuck on a screen or inactive, posts a real-time alert to your Telegram teaching channel, and texts your co-teacher through Twilio when 3 or more students need help at once, so nobody stays stuck unnoticed.
- Stuck students get noticed in minutes, not at the end of class
- Co-teachers know exactly where help is needed
- Quiet activities generate zero unnecessary alerts

How is each run configured?
Secure by default
Connect once, stays signed in
WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Does it message students directly during the activity?
No. Alerts go only to your Telegram teaching channel and your co-teacher's phone. WebRun never contacts a student.
How long does a student need to be stuck to get flagged?
Over 4 minutes on the same screen with no progress, so a normal pause to think doesn't trigger a false alert.
Does it run outside of a live activity?
No. It only checks the dashboard while an activity is actively running, so there's nothing to monitor between classes.
