Assessing student work>>Viewing course statistics
You set the criteria for the type of course usage report you want CourseCompass to generate. You also specify whether to generate a report for all students or selected students.
To generate a report on course usage or activity:
Click the course name on the My CourseCompass page.
Click Control Panel.
Click Course Statistics under Assessment.
Select a report type for CourseCompass to generate from the Select Report drop-down list:
Overall Summary of Usage displays "hits" per course area (calendar, gradebook, content areas) as well as student access by month, hour of day, and day of week.
Note: CourseCompass records a "hit" each time a student clicks a link or page in your CourseCompass course. For example, CourseCompass records 4 hits when a student reads a message in the Discussion Board. These 4 hits include each click a student makes to access the message: click Communication in the course menu (1st hit), click Discussion Board (2nd hit), click a forum title (3rd hit), then click a message to read it (4th hit).
Accesses by Content Area displays report by content area and access by date.
Accesses by Group displays course usage data for groups (if you set up groups in your course).
Accesses by Forum displays course usage data for Discussion Boards in your course.
(Optional) Select a time range for the report. By default, the time range is from the time you created the course until one day after the current day.
Under Users, indicate whether you want to include all students (users) or specific ones. If you select Selected Users, select the students you want from the list provided.
Tips:
To select multiple students, press CTRL as you click each name or press SHIFT as you click the first and last name you want to include.
Deselect your own name so the report is not skewed by your activity in the course.
Click Submit.
Scroll through the reports to review the data.
(Optional) Click Change Filter at the top of the page to modify the report criteria.
(Optional) Click Print or Export Data.
