Course reports are general, course-level activity reports. These reports can help an instructor determine when, and if, students have accessed resources, participated, or submitted activities within the course.

Reports can be found in the Administration block of the course. The following are several of the most common reports; additional reports may be available.

Dates

The Dates report allows you to view and edit all programmable dates and times within the course on a single page, filtered by activity type.

Logs

The Logs report has different filtering options. You can choose to pull the logs for a particular student or all participants, a certain day, a particular activity, an action (create, view, update, delete, or all actions), and logs are provided with several display and download options. You will see records of all activity in the course if you don’t choose any options from the dropdown boxes.

All records are time stamped and include the user’s name, event context, IP address, and basic information.

Live Logs

Live logs show all activity by all users within the past hour.

Activity Reports

The activity report is an outline of the course and shows how many views each item has, as well as the time and date of the last access.

Course Participation

This report shows you which students have viewed an activity/ resource and whether or not they have participated.

You can filter by activity module (i.e. assignments, forums, quizzes, etc.), how many days back to look, the role (choose “Student” from the list), and the action (view or post).

Click Go to see a particular user and whether or not they have completed the selected action (view or post) for the activity or resource.

An extremely useful feature of the participation report is the option to send a message to any students who have not completed a certain action. Select the boxes next to the names of the students you want to message (or choose Select all, Deselect all, or Select all ‘no’ at the bottom of the list) and choose send message from the drop-down menu.

Student Reports

Student reports are similar to course reports but display information for a particular student.

You will first need to select a student to access student reports. Click on Participants in your Navigation block or the Navigation panel on the left.

After the participants list/roster loads, click either the student’s name or profile picture. From the students’ profile page, under Reports choose the report you would like to view. There are several course reports available, such as today’s logs, all logs, outline report, complete report, and grade. These reports will display the student’s activity in your course only.

Today’s Logs

This report shows the student’s activity for the day. A graph shows the number of hits in the course, and a table provides details of the student’s activities in the course.

All Logs

This report is in the same format as Today’s Logs. However, it shows logs for all days.

Outline Report

This report provides an outline of the course and shows grades for activities, the number of posts in each forum, and the number of views for resources.

Complete Report

The complete report is similar to the outline report but is more detailed. The report includes the student’s forum postings and submitted assignments (including the submission status and feedback), grades, and submission dates.

Grades

This report will show the students’ grades in the course and their current course total.
