Navigating the Progress Report:
When you login as your learner, you should see the screen below. For quick access to learner progress, we recommend you choose the “Progress Report” button in the upper right hand corner.
If you are interested in understanding more about a specific assignment, you can click on the activity. You will be taken to a screen like the one below. In this view you are able to navigate what your learner sees.
The “Goals” tab provides a description of the activity. It may also include information about the scale to which the learner is demonstrating evidence of learning.
The “Action” tab provides the learner with specific steps related to learning. This may be actions on the part of the learner, it may be resources and information.
The “My Locker” tab is where the learner submits evidence of learning. If there is nothing in the locker or the evidence does not have a green circle with a check mark in it, you may ask three questions:
Did my learner forget/choose not to submit?
Was the assessment turned in during a mod on paper?
Did my learner upload evidence to his/her/their locker but forget to click the large circle to formally submit the activity to the facilitator for review?
The “Feedback” tab is where you are able to see communication between the facilitator and your lerner regarding the work submitted. If the submission was done in class or on paper, it is possible that feedback was shared in person or on the physically submitted evidence
