User Progress for Inactive Course Offerings

The active status of a course offering affects the ability to view user progress. When a course offering is inactive, the user progress data linked from the Classlist and View User Progress (linked from the Edit Course page) is limed. The specific data for each tool is always viewable.

User Progress

Desire2Learn automatically records a variety of data on activity associated with its various tools. In general, this data can be accessed from three areas:

1. The tool itself (e.g., View Reports for the Content tool)
2. Each student's View Progress link from the Classlist
3. The View User Progress link on the Edit Course page

Class Progress Overview

I found a video on a new tool in Desire2Learn: the Class Progress tool. It is linked from the Edit Course page, and this video from Ralph Mayer at Midlands Technical College does an excellent job covering the tool:

Tracking Checklist Progression

The Checklist is a tool that instructors can use to give students a list of to-do items for a course. It does not connect to the Grades tool, and students self-assess whether a particular item has been completed. To view that self-assessment, use the Progress Report. The report shows how many total items the student has marked completed, how many the class has marked completed, and the status for each item for that student.
