How to view a student checklist

The "Checklist" is a tool that allows the instructor to create a checklist for students in order to keep track of the items they have completed in the course.  Checklists can be created for other purposes as well.   The instructor is NOT able to view a student's checklist under the Checklist tool. it can only be viewed in the "User Progress" for each student, individually.  Below are instructions on how to do this.

• Go to Classlist 
• Select the "view progress" icon 
• Next to Tool, select Change if the displayed tool is NOT Checklist

•  Using the drop-down menu, select Checklist and click Apply. 

• You will now see the User Details for the Checklist.  The image below shows an example of the information that can be found here. 

1. The Checklist Summary for the selected user, which includes items completed, not completed, overdue (only applicable if there is a due date assigned), and the total items. 
2. The Status shows whether or not the student has completed that item. A green check markindicates the item has been checked off by the student.  
3. The Class Status represents how many students in the class have checked off that item. 
4. Due Date refers to the date the assignment is due.  This date is entered when the instructor creates the checklist. 
5. Checked Date indicates that the student checked this item. 

      

User Progress and Grades - Withdrawals

Students may withdraw from a class, which will result in an automatic unenrollment from the D2L Classlist, unless the enrollment was processed manually (which is a separate problem).  Often, instructors are asked to report grade or progress information for students who have withdrawn. 

To see "User Progress" and "Grades" in D2L for a student who withdrew or dropped the course:


1.  From the D2L Course Home page, click [Classlist]
2.  Click [Report]
3.  Scroll down past the statistics to the list of "Withdrawals"
4.  Find the student's name
5.  Click the [Grades] icon (yellow ruler with green checkmark) -or- the [User Progess] icon (circle of dots)

Important notes about User Progress:

• The D2L course site must be Active. If it's not active, the inquiry yields "No tools enabled for this course." Screen shot: http://screencast.com/t/TnISmL9e (This can be a problem because inquiries often come after the semester is over, when a student is trying to get a refund, or financial aid is involved.)

• From the above screen, selecting a different course will *also* spontaneously change WHICH student's User Progress is being reported, if the original student isn't enrolled in the course that was chosen! Video demonstration: http://screencast.com/t/D3iCwnurN (This can be a problem because it would be very easy for the instructor not to notice the switch to a different student, and could report inaccurate data as a result.) 

• If a student withdrew (or was administratively dropped) from ALL D2L courses, no User Progress data is available for the student at all. Video demo: http://screencast.com/t/FltTlavPip  

The work-around for all these issues is for the instructor to

1. re-enroll the student from the Classlist, and/or make the course site active ... 
2. gather the needed information ... and then 
3. unenroll the student from the course site (again, from the Classlist) and/or make the course site Inactive again.

D2L 9.2.1 SP3 – September 2011

When did my student access the course last?

If you click on [classlist] in the upper navigation bar, you can view the date and time a student last accessed the course. Students cannot see this, only instructors and TAs.

Previously, this information was only available through the User Progress tool.

"User progress" can be used to view whether or not a student has accessed a particular piece of content, quiz, survey, etc. More can be found at:

Using "User Progress"

Instructor Question:

Is it possible to select a view where I click on an individual student and then get a list of all the surveys the student submitted?

Answer:

Yes! (Although my example talks about Quizzes, this also works for Surveys.)

Here's how:

• In the Classlist, click on the "students" tab.
• Then, click on the "track progress" icon for the student in question.

• In the "user progress" area, choose which D2L tool you would like to see for the particular user. Options include Content, Discussions, Dropbox, Grades, Quizzes and Surveys.
• Scroll to the bottom of the page to see more information.
  

• Click on the Quiz or Survey name for more information. Other tools will display similar lists with detail available by clicking on the name of an item.
