Student Overview for Single Subject

Overview

The Student Overview for Single Subject report shows the activity and engagement of a single student in the vUWS site. This includes a breakdown by weekday on the amount of time spent on the site, comparison against the site, breakdown of items accessed by the student, etc.

This report is essentially helpful when only a single student is of interest, examples of questions that this report can answer include:

  • Has this student engaged with my vUWS site?
  • How long did the student spend on my vUWS site?
  • Did this student access a particular item on my vUWS site?
