Using the Class Progress Tool

Updated on Apr 17, 2023

The Class Progress Tool is designed to help compare the performance of your students taking your course, track how each student and the class as a whole is doing, and to assist instructors in reflection about the course.

Navigation

1. To navigate to 'Class Progress,' click on the 'Course Resources' section and select it from the drop-down menu.

You will be taken to a list of your students and shown 4 different progression sections next to them.

3. You can also change Progress Report Information Settings, and the color indicators for grades. Any changes made on this screen will apply to all students, not just the individual.

4. After you are done changing this section and have saved your changes by either clicking the 'Save' or 'Save and Close' button, navigate back to the 'Class Progress' page by clicking the 'Class Progress' button in the top-left, or using the 'backwards' arrow on your window.

5. While only 4 indicators may be shown at any given time, you can replace indicators with others to reflect certain areas you want to be reflected.

To change which indicators are shown, click on the 'Settings' icon in the upper-right of the screen, above your classlist. This will take you to the list of different indicators you currently have. If you click on any of the drop-down menus next to their names, you'll be met with options such as 'Move Up,' 'Move Down,' or 'Replace.'

6. To replace an indicator, click on the option 'Replace.' This will prompt a pop-up window with more options for a different indicator. Select the one you want to replace the one that is currently being shown. You can do this to an individual indicator, or you can replace multiple indicators at a time.

Click on 'Save and Close' when you are done making changes.

7. The new indicator will now be shown on the table. You can replace the new indicator if you are unhappy with it, or make any other changes that will help you track and compare your users' progress!
