The Student Activity Details Report for Courses

The report provides you with analytics for your students’ performance in your course. You can view a student’s hours in course and changes in overall grade from week to week. The report makes it easy to see when a student’s hours in course drops or if a student begins to earn lower grades. Report data is updated every 24 hours in the early morning.

You can use the report to guide and inform your instruction in many ways.

  • Identify struggling students, students who are improving over time, or students whose grades start trending downwards
  • Message students who are falling behind and encourage them to increase their course activity
  • Congratulate students performing well in your course and ask them to be mentors
  • Set up an appointment with all students in the course to follow-up on strategies to improve student performance and activity
  • Download the table view to a CSV (comma-separated values) file to analyze the data with other tools or share student reports to other faculty members if needed
  • Download the line charts as a PDF or image to share information with other instructors or mentors of the course

Course activity per week

Table view

The table view of the Student Activity Details report has four columns: Date, Average hours in course, Range of average hours, and Activity hours. Data is presented in rows organized by week. Each week begins on Monday and the table is organized in descending order from the first to the most recent week.

  • Average hours in course are the average hours in a course spent by all students per week.
  • Range of average hours are the average hours in a course spent by all students per week, plus or minus the standard deviation. You can use the range of hours as additional information about whether the Average hours in course column has a high or low standard deviation.
  • Activity hours are the hours in a course accumulated by a student per week. Hours in course are counted from the time students select something within the course to when students select something outside the course. If a student is logged out from their course session, only the time before their last action within the course is counted.
  • Select the Download button to download the table as a CSV (comma-separated values) file.
