Evaluate 2.1.1 Data Driven Instruction, Analytics, Reporting Tools Quest


The image above shows how many students are enrolled in each class, the term, start date and end date.


The image above shows who is paying for the course, whether or not the student completed orientation, the assessment the student will complete, and the type of student. This information is useful to the teacher in that it reveals the commitment level a student may have to the course. If the student is paying for the course, they might be more inclined to put forth more effort. If a student has not completed the orientation, they might have difficulty navigating the course and would need encouragement to complete the orientation or may even need assistance with orientation. 



This image shows a record of contacts made by the teacher to students and parents regarding progress in the course. This information serves as a record of attempts made to let stakeholders know this student is failing the course after one month. Whether the news is positive or negative, a record of comments must be maintained within the course.


The image above shows a welcome email was sent at the beginning of the course, then an update was sent to the parents of the student letting them know how well he student is doing in the class. All students' parents should receive updates on the progress of the student on a regular basis.


According to the description of the image above, the fractions on the left represent "...how many grades each student has scored..." and "...shows page views by student and date accessed." I am reading this chart as each row representing one student, the number of page views is the colored blocks and the dates shown across the bottom covers a period of two weeks. I am also assuming that graded means completed the assignment and the teacher has scored the assignment.
The first two students access the course almost every day. Students #1, #3, #4, #5 and #6 entered the course either Saturday or Sunday. Six students either returned or began on Monday. 
Student #7 returned on Friday to complete his/her assignments for the week, showing he/she may have rushed just to get it finished. Then Student #7 did not return at all the following week. Student #6 had a better first week than the second week as far as participation goes, but waited until Friday of the second week to enter and work on the course. Students #6, #7, #8, and #9 need to be contacted by email and a phone call with parents to discuss the importance of logging in and working on the course on a regular basis. Grades should also be discussed at this time as well as any technical difficulties the student may be experiencing.
Student #5 accessed the course on a regular basis but completed only 26 out of 59 assignments. This student needs a parental contact in order to discuss regular participation, assignment completion, and asking for help when needed. 
It was suggested to pay particular attention to how often email and grades are accessed, but there is no way to view this information in this graphic.


The above image shows major grades with one assignment that has not been completed. There is a typo in the first comment, it should say "state" and not "tate." It appears from the comment the teacher is allowing the student to redo the first assignment. The feedback on the third assignment is supportive and tells the student exactly what the teacher likes about the work. 

This image shows missed quiz questions the student needs to review.


Shown here is a portion of the grade book with grades and a link to personal feedback. This student is doing well.

Above is the detailed feedback for an assignment (I infer the Resume). Suggestions are made for improvement.

I suggest a policy for this virtual school that all students be required to login and participate a minimum of 4 different days of the week with no more than 2 days between logins.
