The Class Progress feature provides a centralized way to access detailed statistics for a variety of items including Quizzes, Discussions, Submission folders, and Grades. Individual student activity in a course site, with detailed information about each tool, is visible via the Class Progress tool.  Select Edit Course in the navigation bar.  Select Course Administration.  Select Class Progress.   Select a student name to view more detailed activity information.   Select the tool name (e.g., Grades, Discussions, and Submissions) [A] to expand for additional information. Select any dropdown arrow [B] to expand for additional information. Select Course Access [A] to see additional information about when the student has accessed the course. Select Login History [B] to see additional information about when the student has logged into D2L. Select the forward or back arrows [C] to navigate to other students. Note: By default, most of the information on student activity in a section of the course site will not be immediately shown in the Class Progress tool. Select the links below an item name (e.g., the topics in the Content area or folders in Submissions) to view more detailed information.

Within the Classlist, you'll find a column titled "Last Accessed." This column shows the last time each student accessed your course (not just D2L in general). You can also click the Last Accessed header to sort the Classlist by the time and date when each student last checked the course. This can be very helpful at the start of the term for identifying and reaching out to students who haven't yet accessed the course. You should also consider checking student login statistics periodically throughout the term to identify students who might be falling behind.

Select Classlist from the course navigation bar. Select the Class Engagement button. The Class Engagement dashboard will load. The following options can be used to verify student participation: A box under the "Class Engagement" heading populates the number of students who have not accessed the course in the past week. Select this box to view a list of those students. Select the box again to go back to the main dashboard view. The "Grade Distribution" box shows a graph of current class grades. Select one of the bars on the graph to view students in that grade range. Select clear to remove the filter.

Go to Classlist.  Select Class Engagement. Select the name of the student to view their Class Progress page. Select the pieces of student information to view corresponding pages from their class progress: Under "Current Grade" select the percentage to view grade progress. Under "Last Visited" select the number of days to view course access progress. Under "Discussions" select the number of threads or replies to view discussions progress.

The Quiz statistics section includes color-coded charts for each quiz so you can see class averages and quickly identify questions that received the highest number of incorrect answers. The Discussions statistics section includes a snapshot of overall discussion participation as well as the number of original posts and replies completed by each student on a particular topic. The statistics tool for quizzes allows faculty to view data for the whole class, individual students, and questions. This can be used to monitor student progress and track participation. Select More from the course navigation bar. Select Quizzes. The "Manage Quizzes" tab will open. Select the Statistics tab. Select the name of the quiz to view its statistics. There are three tabs available for viewing quiz data: User Stats: This page opens by default from the "Statistics" tab. It shows the quiz data by user, including the grade distribution for the whole quiz and overall grades. The classlist shows the overall grade for each student. The overall grade will reflect the first attempt or the graded attempt, depending on the quiz settings. Question Stats: This page shows the data for the quiz filtered by questions, including the grade distribution and overall grades. The question list shows the statistics for each question. To see a preview of a question in a popup window, select the question name. Question Details: This page shows the dates of the quiz and all questions in full. Each question is marked with the correct answer and data illustrating the distribution of chosen answers.

Select Discussions from the course navigation bar. The "Discussions List" page will open. Select the Statistics tab. The "Users" tab will open: "Org Unit Statistics" show the total count of threads and replies in all forums. "User Statistics" shows the classlist with the discussion board totals for each student. (Optional) Use the "View by" dropdown menu to filter by group or section instead of user. Select Applyto update the view. If filtering by group, a "Groups" dropdown menu will appear with all of the course groups. Choose one and then select Apply to view only that group. If filtering by section, a "Sections" dropdown menu will apear. Choose the section and then select Apply. Select the name of a student to open a new window with data like their last login to D2L and discussion group membership. The "Number of Posts" column on this page shows the data of the individual student for a listed topic or forum.

One of D2L's most popular features is the ability for students to "check off" items in the Content area as they are completed. This feature is referred to as completion tracking. When you enable completion tracking, students will see a progress bar for each module in the course and know, at a glance, exactly how much they've finished and what remains to be done. In addition, when students check off all of the items in a module, a check-mark icon will appear next to that module in the Content area navigation. This makes it easier for students to remember which units they've completed and pick up where they last left off.

Completion Tracking is a feature that allows students to monitor progress while completing a course. It also allows the instructor to monitor whether students are visiting topics in a course. Completion tracking can be set for individual topics or entire modules. For every module or topic, a completion type must be assigned: Required: Automatic—Topics will be marked as complete when the student does something in D2L, like view a file or post to a discussion. Required: Manual—Students will see a checkbox next to the topic, which they must manually click to mark the item as complete. Not Required—No completion tracking will be monitored.

Select the two dashes for the individual topic [A].  A list of completion tracking options will appear with a check next to the currently active option. The default is Not Required. Select a new completion type [B].
