Tracking how, when, and what students do with course content may help instructors identify when to take important actions such as reaching out to inactive students about their progress in a course.

How this functions differs in


Original

and Ultra courses. NOTE: Regardless of the course type, you cannot view student progress if tracking is not enabled when students were actually engaged with course content. PanelborderColor#c56fd5bgColorwhitetitleColorwhiteborderWidth2titleBGColor#c56fd5borderStylesolidtitleIf you are teaching an Ultra course:

courses allow you to track whether learners have met the criteria (the rules) established for various items and if they have looked at items for which you have enabled Review Status. This must be enabled on a per item basis for EACH content item you want to track.

Unlike in Original courses, the Student Progress report does not need to be enabled on a per item basis. It is automatically available in all Ultra courses

when

since Progress Tracking is turned on at the global level.

    Instructors may sort by student name or progress status. The report provides instructors with the date and time for when an action occurred (e.g., when a student started viewing content). 

  4. Check a box next to one or more student names and then to send an individual or bulk message with a blind copy to each student.
