Impact: Instructors and Students

Instructors gain insight into student performance through the Course Activity Related to Grades report. This helps instructors intervene early, if necessary, to improve student outcomes. Students may use this report to review their performance and compare it to other members of the class.

In the Ultra Course View, the icon to access the report is now always visible to instructors. Students can see their report earlier because we reduced the activity rule. We also made updates to the way the metrics are processed.

This report is also available for Original Course View.

For instructors and administrators: This feature is available from the Course Progress icon on the Grades page of the Ultra Base Navigation. The charts in these reports are based on data obtained from courses. In Ultra courses, for the Grades chart to appear to instructors and the My Grades chart to appear to students, instructors must set up the course overall grade.
