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.
