The overview report shows student activity over the past seven days (including the current day) compared to the course averages. You can search for a student and filter by groups. Hover over a student to see more detailed information for that individual. 

The visit duration is calculated in real-time, and may fluctuate if a student is active in the course as you are reviewing this page. 


Top Section

The top bars shows:

  • the total number of students who were active (visited) in the course in the previous 7 days and the total number of students in the course.
  • last 7 day course activity bar chart - this is calculated as total time spent in a course (of all students) divided by number of visits on that day.
  • The average visit duration - this is calculated by taking the visits of all students in a course since the start of the course. Note: This value could fluctuate at the beginning, but will stabilize over time.

This shows the date, the total number of visits that day, the number of visitors, and the approximate duration of the visit. The average visit duration time is calculated as total time spent in a course (of all students) divided by number of visits on that day. The value is usually updated 1-2 minutes after any of the course participants has made some activity in the course (e.g. visited or viewed the course page for more than one minute).

If there is no data, the pop-up box will not appear.

  • The last 7 days activity shows the bars representing a student's activity during the last 7 days. This is calculated by summing up the duration of visits for that day.
  • The average duration is calculated as the approximate total time spent in a course by the student divided by number of visits to the course.
