Tracking progress

Grades

Every Training has its own Gradebook which is accessible from Training administration > Gradebook setup. Some activities such as Assignment and Quiz send grades back to this gradebook. It is also possible for Instructors to enter grades directly into the gradebook.

Competencies

Competencies describe the level of understanding or proficiency of a learner in certain subject-related skills. Competency-based education (CBE), also known as Competency-based learning or Skills-based learning, refers to systems of assessment and grading where students demonstrate these competencies.

Activity completion

If Activity completion is enabled by the administrator and in the Training settings, Instructors can indicate for each Training item how they wish it to be registered as complete. A tick/checkmark will then appear against the activity. Students may either mark it complete manually or the item will automatically be registered as complete once a student has met the specified criteria. These may be viewing a resource, submitting an assignment, posting in a forum or other conditions. The Instructor can see an overview of who has completed what in the activity completion report in Training administration > Reports > Activity completion.

Training completion

As an extension of activity completion, enabling Training completion allows for a Training to be officially marked as finished, either manually or automatically according to speficied criteria. If the Training completion status block is added, students can see their progress during the Training. Instructors can view the overall progress of students towards Training completion from Training administration>Reports>Training completion.

Badges

Badges can be awarded either manually or using activity completion settings in a Training and are a popular way to motivate students. Students may be awarded badges at different stages of the Training for different levels of progress.

Training reports

A number of Training reports are available to the Instructor in their Training to help them track the progress of their students. In addition to the activity and Training completion reports mentioned above (which are only available if these settings are enabled) there are also activity reports, participation reports and general Training logs.

Analytics

The Analytics feature, in LMS 3.4 onwards, provides detailed descriptive and prescriptive reports to support learners at risk.
