The Pause option allows you to stop the timer for the desired time. This pause time is not recorded in the statistics.

Bar size: depending on your preferences, three bar sizes are available.

Text size: if you're reading your plan in front of an audience, enlarging the text size is a very useful feature. Three text sizes are available.

Time remaining: displays the time remaining before the end of shooting.

Performance indicators

At the end of the playback, Oplan gives you a better understanding of your relationship with time and the task you've accomplished. Based on the durations of the steps in your plan, Oplan's reading summary lets you see the difference between your objectives and the actual durations recorded. In this way, you can quickly pinpoint the steps that took longer or shorter than planned.

Blue color indicates that your stage lasted exactly the same time as your goal. The difference between the actual duration of the stage and the duration of the goal is zero.

Green color indicates that your step took less time than expected. The difference between the actual duration of the stage and the planned duration is negative.

Orange color indicates that your step has taken longer than expected. The difference between the actual duration of the stage and the planned duration is positive.

Gray color indicates that the step has not been launched.

Reading statistics

At the end of your plan, a statistics page appears on the screen. These statistics allow you to see your performance at a glance. They are counted every time you leave the player page.

View and give feedback to your students' plans

View reading statistics

When you share a plan in 'edit' mode within your group, you can view the plan's playback statistics and annotate each student's plan individually.

To consult the playback statistics, the student must have launched the playback of the shot using the 'Play' button. Once playback has started, you have access to the student's results.

Go to your group's section and select a student.

Then select a student to see a list of his or her plans. You'll see that some plans have not yet been started. A plan can also be 'In progress', 'Completed' or 'Cancelled'.

Click on a plan to access its reading results.

Annotate a student's plan

When you share a plan in 'edit' mode within your group, you can annotate each student's plan individually.

To do this, access a student's plan in the same way as above. Then click on the 'Modify' option, illustrated by a pencil icon.

Modifications are made directly in the student plan interface. Students simply need to refresh their Oplan page to see the changes.

Other options

You can also duplicate a student's plan in your own plans. Alternatively, you can launch playback of a student's plan with the 'Play' button.
