Instructors often need to review student activity. Student activity helps inform decisions in academic disputes and aids in troubleshooting. You can also analyze the course participation of students at risk.

Instructors can also use student participation to support financial aid decisions; for example, requests for tuition fee reimbursements if a student hasn’t participated in a course. Course participation records can also help with awarding scholarships.

Now the Student Overview page has a Student Activity Log. Instructors and other higher roles can use the report to check what a particular student did in a course.

The Activity log can be filtered by event type and can retrieve activity from the past 140 days. Any information older than that won’t be stored in this report. The following events can be found in the report:

  • Course Access
