Course Submission Summary

Overview

The Course Submission Summary report provides submission information for each student in the subject. It can be used to identify students who are not engaged in the subject by displaying trends and numbers of submissions compared to the cohort average. Examples of questions that this dashboard can answer include:

  • Are my students engaged with the subject?
  • Do any students in my cohort need assistance?

How do I use the report?

Access the report

Access the Course Submission Summary report in your vUWS site by scrolling down to the Subject Management section in the navigation menu, then selecting Student Tracking and Course Analytics .

A list of available reports will display, the second report in the list should be the Course Submission Summary  report. Click on the text to run the report, or hover your mouse cursor over the text then click on the chevron menu icon that appears and select Run.

A new browser tab will open which will contain the report which on this page will be called  Unit Submission Summary .

Using the Interface and viewing Data

The report generates a table that provides an insight into the submission data for each student. For each student, the last submission type and the last date of submission is listed with a calculated field showing how many days has passed since last submission. Additionally, the comparison of each student is made against the subject’s average with a green up arrow representing higher submissions, grey sideways arrow representing neutral and red down arrow represents low submissions compared to the average of the unit. Students below the average may not be sufficiently engaged in the course and may indicate the need for assistance.

Clicking on an individual student name will load the Student at-a-Glance Summary report. This report displays engagement data for an individual student and compared it to other students enrolled in the same subject.
