Course at-a-Glance Dashboard

Overview

The Course at-a-Glance Dashboard in vUWS provides insights on the student activity within a vUWS site. The data is visualised to help identify features, trends and patterns in the data which are relevant to teaching and learning. Clear actionable insights are presented including alerts, interpretation of the specific data and the ability to contact students.

Examples of questions that this dashboard can answer include (but not limited to):

• Which students have not logged into my vUWS site in the last 7 days?
• Have all students accessed my Module 1 material?
• How active are my students compared to the previous weeks?
• What are the patterns of student activity within my vUWS site?
• Are students more active in my subject compared to other subjects in my school?
