Review student performance data (and customize indicators) using Class Progress in D2L Brightspace

Overview

You may access the Class Progress from the Other Tools menu in the navigation bar. The Class Progress tool tracks your students’ 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 students in your course
• Prepare progress reports
• Track when a student accesses the course and downloads course content
• Track a student’s grades, completion of competencies or outcomes, access of content topics, participation in discussions, assignment submissions, quiz submissions, checklist completion, survey responses, course access history, and system access history.

The Class Progress dashboard

The Class Progress dashboard displays with up to four performance indicators for your students. Only instructors have access to the dashboard.

1. You can filter class participants based on membership in groups or sections.
2. Use the Name column to sort the order in which students appear in the chart. A maximum of 4 performance indicators can display at any time on the Class Progress page.
   Notes:
   • Available indicators include Assignments Performance Summary, Checklist Completion Summary, Content Completion Summary, Content Visited Summary, Discussion Participation Summary, Grades Performance Summary, Login History (Last 30 days), Quiz Performance Summary, Survey Completion Summary, and System Access (Last 30 days).
   • Login History (Last 30 days) indicates when the student logged into Brightspace in the past 30 days, not logins to the course specifically.
   • System Access (Last 30 days) indicates each time the learner accesses Brightspace using a browser, or launches the Pulse app in the past 30 days. System access begins when the student logs in, launches the app, or returns after 30 minutes of inactivity. It ends after 30 minutes of inactivity.
3. All course participants appear in the chart. Their name, username, and TechID 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 student’s User Progress report page.
