RadarUse the Radar to quickly assess each student's performance in the course. Use this tool toidentify if students need additional intervention and help so that they can successfully completethe course.
The Radar screen maps student's productivity with their progress in the course. Students who arevertically higher on the screen are very productive in the course, and students who are farther tothe right are progressing through the activities in the course. Productivity is a measure of how wellthe grades are for the student; progress is a measure of how well the student is keeping up withthe pace of the course:
• Progress is the approximate percent of the course that has been completed. The percentis calculated from a "completed/completable" equation, which includes required items.However if there are late assignments, the X position does not progress past thepercentage where the student should be minus the late items.
• Productivity is related to the activities completed in the last 7 days. The divisor in theequation is the average items a student would have to complete every week in order tofinish the course on time. The “at-risk” triangle shows if the student’s current rate issufficient to finish the course on time, given their current completeness and how far theenrollment has progressed. Note, of course, that the at-risk triangle on the radar screen isa class average and may vary widely especially if the students in the class have differentenrollment dates. The at-risk filter filters the students individually.
Required choice items are included in the completable count even before the students picks them.Extra choices add to the completable count and, when completed, the completed count as thestudent adds them.
