Each summer I teach two online classes and always need to refresh myself on Coursesite. I like to keep track of student participation in the discussion Forums, a key part of the grade. I have posted earlier about how to get a great visualization of student participation through Tableau. But this is just week by week data tracking.
Here are the steps:
Course Administration>Reports>Course Participation>
Activity Module to the specific Forum>Look Back to 2 weeks>Student (not manager)>Show Action (View or Post).
You can then organize the student data by last name and transfer (by hand) to an Excel sheet.
