Bb Tip #131: Performance Dashboard

The Performance Dashboard gives instructors a "view at a glance" on how students are progressing within the course. Instructors use the information in the Performance Dashboard to monitor student progress and keep students on track.

Various types of user activity information is available in the Performance Dashboard. The information includes:

• Last Course Access: The date and time when the user last accessed the course.
• Days Since Last Course Access: The number of days that has elapsed since the last time the user accessed the course.
• Review Status: Displays how many items have been reviewed.
• Adaptive Release: Clicking on the icon opens a new window showing a directory tree overview of the entire course relative to the user, and the access status.
• Discussion Board: This column lists the number of Discussion Board comments created by the user. Clicking a number link opens the Discussion Board page listing all of the selected user's Discussion Board comments in the course.
• Customize Retention Center: This column shows the number of triggered rules and the number of total rules that may trigger a warning. For example, 3/5 means the user has triggered three rules out of five. Clicking on the data in this column will display a page showing the Retention Center status for the user.
• View Grades: This column provides direct links to the full Grade Center.
