This article goes over how to access and understand course reporting tools.

If you would like information on how individual students are performing in your course, check out Student Progress Reports.

Overview

On the Pro plan and up, schools can access course reporting tools.

Course reports provide more detailed information about students’ lesson completion rates, quiz scores, video stats, and student leaderboards. This information can be helpful when trying to understand how your students are engaging with your course material.

Course reports are available for the following:

  • Lesson completion - View average completion rates for your course.
  • Video stats - View how videos in your course are performing (including data on video engagement, play rates, etc.). You can also view a retention report for each video.
  • Quiz scores - View how students are performing on your course quizzes on average.
  • Leaderboards - View which students have made the most course progress.

You can also export the Lesson completion or Leaderboards reports.

Access and filter course reports

Course reports are accessible within each individual course in your school. To access your course reports:

  1. Click the Courses tab from your admin menu.
  2. Select a specific course.
  3. Click the Reports tab.
  4. Use the drop-down menu at the top of the page to select a specific report type.

You can also filter course reports by user tags. This allows you to segment your reports by specific cohorts or groups of students. To filter your reports by a tag, type in or select an existing tag in the Filter by tag field at the top of the page.

Learn more about user tags.

NOTE: The tag filter is not available for the Video Stats report.

Lesson completion

The lesson completion report shows the average completion rate for your course, measured by how many lessons within the course each student marked as complete. There are two charts available in this section:

  • Student breakdown - View the average completion rate by various student segments (including all students, students who paid full price, students who paid at a discount/with a coupon, and students who did not pay).

  • Percentage breakdown - View how many students are at each completion threshold. (If the student is enrolled in the course as a part of a bundled content offer, they will not be included in this breakdown.)

NOTE: A lesson is only marked as complete if the student clicks the Complete and Continue button at the top of the lesson page. Learn more about how students mark course progress.

Video stats

The Video Stats report lets you see how each individual video is performing.

This report will only display information about videos that have been uploaded directly to Teachable using the file uploader. Any videos that have been embedded using an embed code and a code block will not be included in the Video Stats report.

Each video will also have a Retention Report. To view a video’s retention report, click the View Retention Report button next to the specific video. This will open up a popup report, where you can view information about how long users watched your video.

Frequently asked questions

My student says they completed a course, but course data shows they have not. How is this possible?

A lesson will only be marked as complete once a student clicks the Complete and Continue button on the top of that lesson page.

Learn more about how students navigate and view course content.

How can I see how a specific student has performed in the course?

You can monitor individual student progress (such as their quiz scores, lesson progress, and video data) from their progress report.

Learn more about student progress reports.
