Students using the Brightspace Pulse mobile app may not register as \"logged in\" at all. Use Course Access (in individual reports) for more accurate course engagement data.\r\n\r\n<strong>30-Day Window:<\/strong> Login and access data only covers the last 30 days. Historical data beyond this window is not available.\r\n\r\n<strong>Content Tracking Requires Setup:<\/strong> Content Completed only tracks items marked as \"Required.\" If you haven't set content as required, this indicator won't provide useful data.\r\n\r\n<strong>Real-Time vs. Cached Data:<\/strong> Some indicators update immediately while others may have a slight delay. Grade changes typically reflect quickly, while content completion may take a few minutes to update.\r\n<div class=\"textbox textbox--disclaimer\">\r\n<div class=\"imgcontainer\">\r\n\r\n<img class=\"noborder alignnone wp-image-888 icon\" style=\"min-width: 100px\" src=\"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/langaraquickguides\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2149\/2024\/02\/Untitled-design-5-150x150.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" \/>\r\n<div class=\"media_text\">\r\n\r\nWhile we advocate the use of Class Progress to provide guidance, students using the Pulse mobile app to access the course content does not register properly in Class Progress. According to Brightspace \"<strong>Class Progress &gt; Course Access<\/strong> <strong>does not currently incorporate Pulse course access data<\/strong> as expected. This is a known limitation.\"\r\n\r\nPlease be aware that Class Progress is not a definitive record of student access and progress\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<h2>Tips for Success<\/h2>\r\n<strong>Choose indicators that align with your course structure:<\/strong> If your course is heavily discussion-based, prioritize Discussion Participation. If it's content-focused, use Content Completed or Content Visited.\r\n\r\n<strong>Check Class Progress weekly:<\/strong> Regular monitoring helps you catch issues early when intervention is most effective. Consider making it part of your Monday morning routine.\r\n\r\n<strong>Focus on patterns, not single data points:<\/strong> A student missing one login isn't cause for alarm, but missing both content completion AND assignment submissions AND discussion posts suggests genuine disengagement.\r\n\r\n<strong>Combine with personal outreach:<\/strong> Class Progress provides data, but conversation provides context. Use the data to identify who to reach out to, then have actual conversations to understand what's happening.\r\n\r\n<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/langaraquickguides\/chapter\/intelligent-agents\/\">Set up Intelligent Agents<\/a> for automated monitoring:<\/strong> Configure agents to alert you when students meet concerning criteria, then use Class Progress to investigate further before deciding how to respond.\r\n\r\n<strong>Mark key content as required from the start:<\/strong> If you want to track content completion, set up your Content settings before students begin accessing materials. It's harder to track retroactively.\r\n\r\n<strong>Use System Access or Content Visited for engagement:<\/strong> Since Course Access isn't available as a dashboard indicator, use System Access (shows Brightspace usage via browser or Pulse app) or Content Visited (shows which content students have viewed) to monitor engagement patterns on your main dashboard.\r\n<h2>Further Resources<\/h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/community.d2l.com\/brightspace\/kb\/articles\/3314-about-class-progress\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">D2L: About Class Progress<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/community.d2l.com\/brightspace\/kb\/articles\/3317-set-up-class-progress\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">D2L: Set Up Class Progress<\/a><\/li>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/langaraquickguides\/chapter\/intelligent-agents\/\">Intelligent Agents Quick Guide<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Contact <a class=\"__cf_email__\" href=\"\/cdn-cgi\/l\/email-protection\" data-cfemail=\"bdd8d9c9d8ded5fdd1dcd3dadccfdc93dedc\">[email\u00a0protected]<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\r\n<img class=\"noborder img.chapter aligncenter wp-image-63\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0em\" src=\"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/langaraquickguides\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2149\/2024\/01\/edtech-transparent-rgb-black-394pxh-300x131.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"66\" \/>\r\n<div style=\"border: 1px #555 solid;padding: 1em;margin-top: 1em\">\r\n\r\nIf you are a Langara employee, <a href=\"https:\/\/iweb.langara.ca\/edtech\/blog\/2025\/08\/28\/self-register-for-essentials-to-excellence-a-brightspace-companion-for-instructors\/\">self-register for Essentials to Excellence: A Brightspace Companion for Instructors<\/a>\r\n\r\n<\/div>","rendered":"<h1 style=\"text-align: center\">Class Progress<\/h1>\n<div class=\"textbox shaded\">\n<div class=\"imgcontainer right\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"min-width: 100px\" class=\"noborder wp-image-1700 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/langaraquickguides\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2149\/2024\/07\/BrightspaceLogo-150x150-1.png\" alt=\"Brightspace logo\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/langaraquickguides\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2149\/2024\/07\/BrightspaceLogo-150x150-1.png 150w, https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/langaraquickguides\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2149\/2024\/07\/BrightspaceLogo-150x150-1-65x65.png 65w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"media_text\">Class Progress provides a centralized dashboard for monitoring student engagement and performance across your course.

Consider making it part of your Monday morning routine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Focus on patterns, not single data points:<\/strong> A student missing one login isn&#8217;t cause for alarm, but missing both content completion AND assignment submissions AND discussion posts suggests genuine disengagement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Combine with personal outreach:<\/strong> Class Progress provides data, but conversation provides context. Use the data to identify who to reach out to, then have actual conversations to understand what&#8217;s happening.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/langaraquickguides\/chapter\/intelligent-agents\/\">Set up Intelligent Agents<\/a> for automated monitoring:<\/strong> Configure agents to alert you when students meet concerning criteria, then use Class Progress to investigate further before deciding how to respond.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mark key content as required from the start:<\/strong> If you want to track content completion, set up your Content settings before students begin accessing materials. It&#8217;s harder to track retroactively.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Use System Access or Content Visited for engagement:<\/strong> Since Course Access isn&#8217;t available as a dashboard indicator, use System Access (shows Brightspace usage via browser or Pulse app) or Content Visited (shows which content students have viewed) to monitor engagement patterns on your main dashboard.<\/p>\n<h2>Further Resources<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/community.d2l.com\/brightspace\/kb\/articles\/3314-about-class-progress\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">D2L: About Class Progress<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/community.d2l.com\/brightspace\/kb\/articles\/3317-set-up-class-progress\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">D2L: Set Up Class Progress<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/langaraquickguides\/chapter\/intelligent-agents\/\">Intelligent Agents Quick Guide<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Contact <a class=\"__cf_email__\" href=\"\/cdn-cgi\/l\/email-protection\" data-cfemail=\"bdd8d9c9d8ded5fdd1dcd3dadccfdc93dedc\">[email\u00a0protected]<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"noborder img.chapter aligncenter wp-image-63\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0em\" src=\"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/langaraquickguides\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2149\/2024\/01\/edtech-transparent-rgb-black-394pxh-300x131.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"66\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/langaraquickguides\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2149\/2024\/01\/edtech-transparent-rgb-black-394pxh-300x131.png 300w, https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/langaraquickguides\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2149\/2024\/01\/edtech-transparent-rgb-black-394pxh-768x336.png 768w, https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/langaraquickguides\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2149\/2024\/01\/edtech-transparent-rgb-black-394pxh-65x28.png 65w, https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/langaraquickguides\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2149\/2024\/01\/edtech-transparent-rgb-black-394pxh-225x99.png 225w, https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/langaraquickguides\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2149\/2024\/01\/edtech-transparent-rgb-black-394pxh-350x153.png 350w, https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/langaraquickguides\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2149\/2024\/01\/edtech-transparent-rgb-black-394pxh.png 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/p>\n<div style=\"border: 1px #555 solid;padding: 1em;margin-top: 1em\">\n<p>If you are a Langara employee, <a href=\"https:\/\/iweb.langara.ca\/edtech\/blog\/2025\/08\/28\/self-register-for-essentials-to-excellence-a-brightspace-companion-for-instructors\/\">self-register for Essentials to Excellence: A Brightspace Companion for Instructors<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":190,"menu_order":30,"template":"","meta":{"pb_show_title":"","pb_short_title":"","pb_subtitle":"","pb_authors":[],"pb_section_license":""},"chapter-type":[],"contributor":[],"license":[],"class_list":["post-3349","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"part":3,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/langaraquickguides\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/3349","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/langaraquickguides\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/langaraquickguides\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/langaraquickguides\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/190"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/langaraquickguides\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/3349\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3420,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/langaraquickguides\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/3349\/revisions\/3420"}],"part":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/langaraquickguides\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/parts\/3"}],"metadata":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/langaraquickguides\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/3349\/metadata\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/langaraquickguides\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3349"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"chapter-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/langaraquickguides\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapter-type?post=3349"},{"taxonomy":"contributor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/langaraquickguides\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/contributor?post=3349"},{"taxonomy":"license","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/langaraquickguides\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/license?post=3349"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
