Overview of the Class Progress Tool

Instructors can use the Class Progress tool to view a summary of the progress of their entire class, which allows them to see and compare class progress between all of their students at a glance. To access the Class Progress tool, login into the Learning Hub > Open a Course > select myTools > Class Progress

Layout of the Class Progress tool

  1. Filter class participants based on their 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 CompletedObjectivesAssignment SubmissionsGradesChecklist CompletionContent VisitedDiscussion ParticipationLogin HistoryPredicted Grade (for Student Success System users only), Quiz PerformanceSurvey completion, and System Access.
    • Login History indicates when the learner logged into Brightspace, not the course. However, if the Brightspace Data Platform is enabled, Course Logins displays in each learner’s User Progress report, which reports on when they accessed the course.
    • System Access indicates each time the learner accesses Brightspace using a browser, or launches the Pulse app. System access begins when the user logs in, launches the app, or returns after 30 minutes of inactivity. It ends after 30 minutes of inactivity.
    • Absent period indicates the number of days since the learner last logged into Brightspace. For example, if “Oct 30, 3017 – 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 are displayed and which order they are displayed in, click Settings. You can also search for users by typing in the Search users field.

Track Learners' Progress

Instructors can also use the tool to track an individual learner’s progress in the course. It will track grades, completion of learning objectives, access of content topics, participation in discussions, assignment submissions, quiz submissions, checklist completion, survey responses, and login history for each individual in the course.

Students can only see their own personal progress data using the User Progress tool. This lets them keep track of what they have completed, including a history of what pages of content they have viewed, their scores on quizzes, grades they have received, etc.

The Class Progress tool helps track course progress by measuring the completion of different progress indicators. This tool can be used by both Students and Instructors. Progress indicators are available for:

  • Summary
  • Content
  • Assignments
  • Quizzes
