Learner Engagement Dashboard

Intended Audience: Mentors

Introduction: 

The Learner Engagement Dashboard is designed to provide visual representations of engagement metrics such as course activity, assignment status, and course history, for a particular student across all their courses. This dashboard shares the same settings as the Engagement Dashboard. Below, you will find instructions on how to access and interact with the Learner Engagement Dashboard, as well as how to interact with the Summary View and view Active and Inactive Courses.

Interacting with the Learner Engagement Dashboard

The Learner Engagement Dashboard consists of three main sections, similar to the Engagement Dashboard:

• Filters for Org Unit and Semester. If you click on a data point in a chart in the Summary View to further filter report content, those filters are also listed in this area.
• The Summary View section, which includes the following: Courses in View summary, Average Grade summary, Overdue Assignments summary, System Access summary, Grades Over Time trend chart, Content View Over Time trend chart, and Course Access Over Time trend chart.
• The bottom area contains dynamic tables that list the Active Courses and Inactive Courses that meet the criteria specified by the filters.

As you add filters to the summary data, the visualizations in all sections automatically change to reflect the updated Summary view. To send an email to the selected student, tap the Email button. To view and/or save the information in an Excel spreadsheet, tap Export to CSV.

Interacting with the Summary View

Information on Interacting with the Summary View:

• The Courses in View card shows the number of active and inactive courses in the summary view based on the filters and permissions applied. It updates automatically when metrics are interacted with.
• The Average Grade card shows the average current grade or final grade for completed courses for the selected user across all courses in the summary view. It does not include predicted grade values.
• The Overdue Assignment card displays the number of assignments in the courses displayed in the summary view that are past their due date and have not been submitted or completed. Click on the number to filter courses to those with overdue assignments for the selected user.
• The System Access card shows the number of days since the user last accessed the system.
• The Grades Over Time trend chart displays the student's current grade for each week within the selected time frame as a line graph. Each course has a unique color-coded line, and clicking on a line greys out the other lines. The chart includes both adjusted and calculated grades.
• The Content View Over Time trend chart displays the number of views for each content topic by the selected user for each week in the selected time frame as a line graph.
• The Course Access Over Time trend chart displays the number of times the selected user accessed each course for each week in the selected time frame as a stacked area chart.

Active and Inactive Courses View

At the bottom of the page, courses are grouped into active and inactive categories to help identify which courses are currently in session. When returning to the main page, any filters that were previously applied will be preserved. An active course meets one of the following criteria:

• The course start date is on or before the current date, and the course end date is on or after the current date.
• The course start date is on or before the current date, and the course end date is null.
• Both the course start and end dates are null, and the Active flag is selected.

For users of the Student Success System, the predicted grade is displayed in this view for active courses that have a model.
