Review Status

The Review Status tool allows you to track user review of specific content items. Once you have enabled the tool for an item, each Student tracks their progress. A Mark Reviewed button appears on the item when the user opens the Content Area. After reviewing the item, the Student selects this button to mark it Reviewed. You may check the status of Student reviews on the User Progress page.

More Information

Q: What about the Item or Folder tracking (button) tool?
A: As far as I can tell this new "Manage" (button) has replaced the tracking feature. Instructors are able to see what students have viewed once they click on the Reviewed button. The student must click the review button for the instructor to see any review status.

View the Status of User Reviews

Once Review Status is enabled for an item, you may check the status of Student reviews from the User Progress page or the Performance Dashboard. These pages both indicate whether or not a Student has marked an item as ‘Reviewed’.

The User Progress page allows the Instructor to see the Review Status of the item for all users in the course.

From the Control Panel:

  1. Select the Content Area item (Syllabus, Course Material, Assignments, Books, External Links).
  2. Select the Manage button next to the content item.
  3. Select Review Status: User Progress.
    A check box appears in the Reviewed column next to each user who has marked the item as Reviewed. The time and date of the review also appears.
