Student Progress Reports

PLAN AVAILABILITY FREE BASIC PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS

This article goes over how to access and understand individual student progress reports, which are available on the Professional plan and higher. Student progress reports include details about which lessons and quizzes a student has completed, as well as which videos they have viewed.

If you would like to view aggregate reporting on how all students are performing across a specific course, check out Course Reporting Tools.

Overview

Each student enrolled in a course in your school will have a progress report. Progress reports provide you with a way to track how your individual students are progressing and performing through your course(s).

Student progress reports contain data on the following:

  • Lesson progress - View if a student has marked a lesson as complete. 
  • Video heatmaps - See which parts of lesson videos your student has watched. 
  • Quiz scores - View a student’s score on graded quizzes, and see their responses for each question. You can also reset a student’s quiz score.

From a student’s progress report, you can also mark lessons as complete on their behalf, or reset lesson progress.

Accessing progress reports

To view a specific student’s progress report:

  1. Navigate to your Users tab.
  2. Click into an individual student’s user profile.
  3. Click the Progress Reports tab of their user profile.

The screen shows the admin of a sample Teachable school, with the USERS tab from the left-side admin menu circled. An individual student's account is shown, with the PROGRESS REPORTS tab of their account menu circled.

If a student is enrolled in multiple courses, use the dropdown menu at the top of the Progress Reports page to select which course progress report you want to view.

The screen shows a student's progress report page. The user navigates to a drop down menu at the top of the page, clicks it, and selects a different course.

Lesson progress

Under each lesson title of the student progress report, you can view the lesson completion status. Each lesson will be marked as Complete or Incomplete.

The screen shows the PROGRESS REPORTS tab of a user profile. There are multiple lectures listed, some labeled as COMPLETE and others as INCOMPLETE.

A lesson will only be marked as complete if the student has clicked the Complete and continue button at the top of the page when viewing that lesson. Learn more about how students mark course progress.

If you would like to set certain requirements for students before they can mark a lesson as complete (such as watching lesson videos, completing a quiz, or navigating through lessons in order), check out the Course Compliance feature.

TIP: To see an overview of a student's overall progress in the course, click the Enrollments tab for that user.The screen shows the ENROLLMENTS tab of a user's profile. They are enrolled in two courses, and next to each course is a progress bar showing how much of a course the student has completed.

Video heatmaps

In the Video Heatmap section, you’ll see heatmaps that indicate which parts of a video have been watched.

The image shows the PROGRESS REPORTS tab of a student's user profile. In the VIDEO HEATMAP column, there is a progress bar that is colored half green and half white.

Heatmaps are color-coded in order to distinguish how many times a video part was watched:

  • White - the video portion not watched at all (i.e., it was skipped)
  • Green - the video portion was watched once
  • Yellow - the video portion was watched twice
  • Orange/Light Red/Dark Red - the video portion was watched three, four, or five+ times, respectively

A new heatmap will be created for each video watching session, so a single video can have multiple heatmaps. You can scroll between the heatmaps for a single video by clicking the < or > arrows next to the heatmap.

NOTE: Video heatmaps only report on 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 Heatmap report, since they are not hosted on Teachable.

View and reset quiz scores

In the Quiz Scores section, you’ll see how your student scored on any lesson quizzes.The screen shows the PROGRESS REPORTS tab of a student profile. In the QUIZ SCORES column, you can see some quiz scores such as 2/3, 10/12, etc., or a dash in the column to indicate no quiz score.

Only graded quiz results display in this section. If you have marked a quiz as ungraded, then scores will not be recorded. Learn more about adding graded vs. ungraded quizzes to your lessons.

If the student has not yet completed the quiz by answering every question, or if the lesson does not contain a quiz, then this section will be blank.

To view how the student answered each question in the graded quiz, click on the graded quiz result. A pop-up modal will appear that shows the student’s quiz answers. The option that the student selected for each question will be in green.The screen shows the PROGRES REPORTS screen of a student profile.

If you want to require students to watch lesson videos or complete a quiz before marking a lesson as complete, you must set up course compliance settings for that course.

If you do not set up course compliance, students will be able to mark lessons as complete without having to watch videos or take quizzes.
