Class Progress

 

Track Course Progress

The Class Progress tool tracks your learners' overall progress as a course and individually.

You may want to use the Class Progress tool to do any of the following:

  • Monitor progress for any or all users in your course

  • Prepare progress reports

  • View user profiles, email users, or instant message users

  • Track when a user accesses the course and downloads course content

  • Track a user's grades, completion of learning objectives, access of content topics, participation in discussions, assignment submissions, quiz submissions, checklist completion, survey responses, and login history

  • Set up intelligent Agents for learners who are falling behind in a course

  • View feedback and submissions for assignments, discussion topics, and other assessments for individual learners

For content, the content must meet three criteria to be included in the learner's progress:

  • The learner must have access to the content

  • The content must be marked with a completion method of Required Automatic or Required Manual

  • The content is not exempt

When content does not meet these conditions, the topics are not included in the calculation of the learner’s progress.

From Course Admin, click Class Progress.

Overview of the Class Progress page. It has 4 orange circles with numbers 1-4 in them which relates to the text below the image.

1) You can filter class participants based on membership in groups or sections.

2) Use the Class Progress navbar to sort the order in which users appear in the chart. By default, the following performance indicators appear from left to right in the navbar: Content CompletedObjectivesLogins, and Grades. A maximum of 4 performance indicators can display at any time on the Class Progress page. Available indicators include: Content CompletedObjectivesDropbox SubmissionsGradesChecklist CompletionContent VisitedDiscussion ParticipationLogin HistoryQuiz Performance, and Survey completion. To change which indicators are displayed and which order they are displayed in, click Settings.

Note the following:

  • Login History indicates when the learner logged into Brightspace Learning Environment, not the course. However, Course Logins displays in each learner's User Progress report, which reports on when they accessed the course.

  • Absent period indicates the number of days since the learner last logged into Brightspace Learning Environment. For example, if "Oct 30, 2017 - absent period: 3" displays, the learner did not log in for 3 days, and an Oct 26 login displays below the Oct 30 login.

3) All course participants appear in the chart. Their name, username, and Org Defined ID display alongside their profile picture, if supplied. Their performance results for the listed indicators also display in the chart. Clicking on any area of this chart brings you to the individual user's User Progress page.

4) To adjust which performance indicators display by default, click Settings. You can also search for users by typing in the Search users field.
