Customizing your Course Activity Report

Identifying students at risk is challenging. This challenge is compounded when teaching multiple courses and large numbers of students. Reviewing the course activity overview can help with this challenge. Instructors can customize flags to appear for students with based on the following items:

• Number of days a student is inactive in the course.
• A student’s overall grade in the course is below a specific percentage.
• Missed due dates.

While the number of days a student is inactive, and the overall grade are straight forward numbers, there are some considerations for the due date. 

The missed due date alert applies when a student doesn’t submit before the due date in the following:

• Assessments, including group and formative.
• Assessments with the “collect submissions offline” option selected - when an instructor creates an attempt and enters the submission date/time after the due date.
• Assessments with the “hide student names” option selected - alerts only after all student submissions are graded and student names are exposed.
• Discussions and journals marked for a grade.
• Other 3rd party activities, such as LTI and Respondus.

Special considerations:

• Students with a due date accommodation never have their work marked late. A student with due date accommodation won't have any missed due date alerts.
• Students with a due date exception will have a missed due date alert if the excepted due date passes and there is no submission.
• Students with an exemption never have their work marked late. A student with an exemption won't have any missed due date alerts.
• Hidden content with a due date or content with date/time and performance release conditions are included in missed due date alerts.
• Content with a due date and release conditions for individual course members or groups will alert only those students/groups included in the condition who miss the due date.
• New items added to the gradebook with a due date are not included in the missed due date alerts.
