Introduction
This article will take you through the recent changes made to analytics visualizations as of October 4th, 2024.
Why Did We Make These Changes?
As part of our commitment to consistency and simplifying the user experience, we’ve updated our analytics availability across our tool suite.
We have divided each tool into modules - these modules are any step within the assignment, e.g. within Peer Review there’s instructions, submissions, given reviews, received reviews and grading. Modules are the components, or steps, that make up a full assignment.
Not all analytics were shown where they belong. For example, in Interactive Document, the Document module would show all analytics in the Statistics per active student, while the Document module in Team-Based Learning did not show any analytics in this section.
The analytics available are specific for an individual module, so we want to show them in the module itself consistently within all tools. Likewise, the Statistics per active student section no longer contains specific analytics about the individual modules but instead the progress per student per module, which makes it easier to get an overview of the progress per student.
Having our analytics appear in a consistent and clear manner creates a more cohesive user experience across our tool suite (of course accounting for certain exceptions where needed, e.g. only certain modules have a Status column with chips like Completed).
What Changes Did We Make?
Below, we’ll cover all updates made to analytics - some adjustments were made across all tools, whereas in other cases there were individual adjustments per tool. Please note - where applicable we've added before and after of the tools, but in some cases this was not applicable (e.g. in a tool that previously did not have status chips, there is no before to show).
In All Tools
The
Statistics per active studentsection at the top of each assignment now shows the progress per module for each student, their overall grade, and the average for all students.All modules that have a
statuscolumn now have chips likeCompleted,Not started,or partially completed. Modules that have multiple requirements (e.g. the progress can be, for example, 50%) also have aprogresscolumn.All modules have the text
x/y participants activeto demonstrate active participants per module.All modules have a demonstrative empty state instead of a generic one (e.g. within Interactive Video, the empty state shows as
Awaiting students to view the materialinstead ofNo students have made progress in the multimedia-task yet)All modules have an
Everyonecolumn with analytics (e.g. averages) about all active students.The color of the check mark icon in the analytics is now green.
Empty State Message example (from Group Member Evaluation):
Grading Module
The
Participation Grading,Valuable Contributions,Peer Discussion&Open Discussionmodules no longer have 2 tables, but 1.For
Participation Gradingthe overall appearance has also been improved.
The alignment of grades in the
Gradingmodule table has been slightly improved.
