Set Up Progress Profiles

Progress Profiles allow you to set lesson completion expectations for your students, track their progress against those expectations, and normalize that progress data across students, instructors, and courses.

Step By Step

You'll need to set up one or more profiles for each course to track the training progress expectations for different types of students. To set up a progress profile, complete these steps: 

1. Navigate to the course for which you want to track student progress, then click the Progress Profiles step. The Progress Profiles page is displayed. A list of progress profiles you‘ve already created is displayed on the page. 
   
2. Click New Profile. The Create Progress Profile view is displayed.
   
3. Enter a name for the profile. Optionally, apply the profile to existing, active enrollments for the course. 
4. For Completed Lessons per 7 Available Training Days, enter the number of lessons a student using this progress profile should complete every 7 available training days. For example, for an expectation of completing a course with 20 lessons in 10 weeks, a student would need to complete 2 full lessons every week to progress through the course on track.
   • Note: An available training day is one in which the school is open (or training even if closed). Days when the school is closed are not counted as available training days.
5. Indicate whether to include Non-controllable Cancel as Available Training Day. If this option is turned ON, the schedule for course completion remains unchanged, even when reservations are canceled for non-controllable reasons. If those days are NOT included as available training days, the course completion schedule expands to include make up days.
6. After completing Step 4, a Lesson Completion Statuses section is displayed. Default percentages based on the number of lessons in the course and the number of days you selected for Lesson Completion Expectations are applied for each status. These percentages will determine if the student is considered Behind, At Risk, On Track, or Ahead for the course. Optionally, you can adjust the percentage of allowed lessons ahead or behind by entering new numbers in the Behind, At Risk, and Ahead boxes.
   
   
   • Note: In the example above, students will be considered Behind if they have not completed between 20–40% of course lessons they are expected to have completed by the current date, or if they are between 8.80–17.60 lessons behind the current expectation. 
7. The Course Minimum Expectations area allows you to fine-tune progress expectations. Optionally, you can choose 1-3 course minimums that are important guides for success in this course. The selected items will be used as guidelines for the student‘s progress status, based on the student meeting the expectations for the selected course minimums.
   
8. After completing Step 7, a Define course minimums per lesson section is displayed. A list of all lessons for the course is displayed, along with the course minimums you selected. The fields are pre-populated with your defined lesson minimums from the corresponding lesson settings if they exist; otherwise, they are pre-populated with numbers that equally divide the course minimum into the number of lessons in the course. Optionally, you can enter a new number for any lesson or course minimum to re-balance the expectations, such as for lessons that are typically longer or shorter than average.
   
9. A Course Minimum Statuses section is also displayed after completing Step 7. Default percentages based on the minimums and the number of lessons in the course are applied for each status. These percentages will determine if the student is considered Behind, At Risk, On Track, or Ahead for the course. Optionally, you can adjust the percentage of allowed minimums ahead or behind by entering new numbers in the Behind, At Risk, and Ahead boxes.
   
10. Click Save. Your progress profile has been created and is now available to apply to future enrollments for the course.
