Course Activity Report

The Course Activity Report provides you with access to review the progress of Users enrolled in an Online Course. This report is specific to Active Online Courses only. The report will return all enrollments regardless of their Status (complete, not started, in progress, pending approval, or pending evaluation).

The purpose of this report is to show progress toward completion of the Online Course. You can use this report to make changes in the Course enrollment for individual Users or carry out various administrative tasks. 

The Course Activity Report is located in the Reports tab on the left side of the Admin Interface. Selecting  the report name will redirect you to the Course Activity Report page. Upon arrival to this page, you will choose the Course you want to review by selecting its name from the drop-down menu of the Course pop-up. From here, you can filter results based on a variety of data points.
