You can turn on this function to give your students an easy way to keep track of what they've done in your course. You can turn progress tracking on at any time. If you turn on progress tracking after the beginning of the course, participatory items are retroactively marked as complete. For example, assessments previously submitted by students are marked as complete. Non-participatory items, such as Ultra Documents, will still need to be manually marked by students.

Instructions

To turn on Progress Tracking:

1. In a Ultra course, under Details & Actions and Progress Tracking, select Turn on.

2. After the Progress Tracking panel opens, switch the toggle from off  to on.

3. Save your new settings.

Your students will now see their progress in the course. All content displays an icon showing a student's progress. When all content in a folder or module has been completed, the entire folder is automatically marked as complete.

The Student Progress tab

The Student Progress tab helps you track individual student progress in a course. You can see completed and uncompleted tasks for each student. You can access the tab by selecting Progress in a student’s overview.

This tab includes only content visible to students by default. If a student can't access content because they don't meet release conditions yet, this is shown. You can change the tab to display all content. If you view with the "All" filter, content the student can't see is marked with a not visible icon. Content marked not visible either isn't viewable to students or it's hidden until students meet the release conditions.

Student Progress Report for course content

Instructors need to know how their students engage with course content other than assignments. You can then take important actions, such as improving course content or reaching out to idle students. There are two ways to access this report.

Select the ellipsis menu by the content and then select Student Progress:

You can see the progress that students mark for the following content types:

• Ultra Documents

• SCORM packages

• Uploaded files

• Links

• Cloud documents

• LTI content with no associated grade

• Learning modules

• Folders

The report allows you to select content and view:

• Students who have not yet opened content

• Students who have accessed content

• Students who have marked the content as complete

The report includes the date and time an action occurred (for example, when a student first selected content or accessed content through Ally). You can sort by student name or progress status. You can act based on this information by sending an individual or bulk message. If you send a bulk message, each student receives an individual message.
