Tip 4: Did anyone do the reading?

Missing Resources & Late Assignments

New Analytics can help faculty keep track of student completion status for assignments as well as whether they have viewed a particular page or resource. You can answer the question “have they done the reading?” for any digital resources, possibly even to help inform a participation grade. You can easily track who has missing or late assignments and other required activities and send a direct message to help get them back on track.

Scenario 1 – You are concerned that several students did poorly on a quiz over content covered in an assigned reading or video. You are asking yourself if they even looked at the resources.

Accessing New Analytics

You can access New Analytics from the left-hand course navigation menu of the right-hand menu on your course homepage.

Access Student Report

When you arrive on the New Analytics screen, you will see a large line of text reporting the Average Course Grade. Underneath this, you will see a date. New Analytics refreshes every 24 hours so be aware of this to know the currency of the information you are viewing.

Select the Students option. This brings up two charts and a list of resources.

To view analytics for one student in your course, click the name of the student [2].

To locate a student, you can sort the table by student name [3], or any other column header [4].

You can view more students if you continue to scroll to the bottom of the page.

View Student Information

You will be able to see the student’s overall grade and communicate directly with them.

To check it they have accessed a certain resource, look in the week they were supposed to have read/viewed it.

You can click on the blue dot for that week to see a list of all the resources that student accessed that week.

You may want to check in subsequent weeks just in case they accessed it later.

Scenario 2 – You are wondering if a specific student has turned in an assignment late or not at all. You also worry that they have done this several times in the past. You can check in New Analytics.

View Student Grade Data Table

By default, the student analytics opens to the Course Grade tab [1]. The Course Grade chart graph shows the submission status and grade for all the assignments in the course. The student's current course grade is shown above the chart graph [2].

A solid dot [3] in the chart represents a graded assignment and an empty dot [4] represents an ungraded assignment. Click any dot to view more details about the assignment.

You may need to scroll the grey bar at the top of the table to get to the past weeks’ information. You can click on the blue to get information about a specific assignment.

To see all of the student’s submission, including their grade and whether they are On Time, Late, or Missing Select the Data Table View under Chart Options.

Wrap-up

Having this sort of information at a glance is useful. Being able to whether students accessed specific resources and how their assignment turn ins are trending can help you better support their individual needs.
