Subject Activity Overview

Overview

The Subject Activity Overview report provides the time spent by students in the vUWS site. The data includes total time spent by the student cohort on each week day and a breakdown of the total time spent by each student and a comparison to the average.

Examples of questions that this report can answer include:

• Which week day has the highest time spent by the student cohort?
• Are there any patterns in the time spent across my cohort?
• How long has a particular student spent in my vUWS site?

How do I use the report?
