Course Progress

The course progress tool helps you define the thematic structure of your course and track how much of the planned content has been delivered.

To students, it is a useful tool for those who have been sick for a few days and could not attend class, as they will known what topics have been talked about and how far the rest of the class has progressed in their absence.

How It Works

Course progress is organized into three layers:

• Thematic sections — The main topics or modules of your course

• Thematic plan — For each section, what you intend to cover. Each plan entry is one of a fixed set of types: Objectives, Skills to acquire, Methodology, Infrastructure, Assessment, or Others.

• Thematic advance — Discrete delivery records under each section, each with a start date and a duration in hours. Mark advances as done as you deliver them to track real progress against the plan.

Setting Up Course Progress

1. Open the Course progress tool from the course homepage

2. Create thematic sections that correspond to your course's main topics or modules

3. Within each section, add plan entries by type to describe what you intend to cover

4. As you deliver the content, add thematic advances with their date and duration, and mark them as done

5. Decide the visibility of that information on the course homepage by changing the related settings in the Course settings section (cog icon at the top of the course homepage)

You can optionally link a thematic advance to an attendance sheet so its start date is pulled from your attendance records. Sections (with their plan and advances) can also be copied within the same course/session.

Use Cases

• Track your teaching plan — Monitor which parts of the course have been delivered and which remain

• Attendance integration — Course progress can work alongside the attendance tool to correlate presence with topics covered

• Reporting — Get a clear view of course delivery status over time

For Learners

Learners can view the course progress to understand the course structure and see what topics have been covered so far. This is particularly useful for learners who join late or miss sessions.
