Understanding the Review Status Indicator

The numbers provided in the Review Status column of the Performance Dashboard indicate the number of items that the Student has marked as Reviewed.

Using Adaptive Release rules in a course creates multiple tracks for Students to progress through. This allows for the possibility that each Student will have a different requirement for marking certain items in a course as Reviewed. At any time in a course, items in a Student’s track may or may not be visible to them. The Performance Dashboard provides an at-this-moment view of the item availability and the Student’s progress on reviewing items.

The Review Status indicator links to a list of the items that the course user sees as Reviewed and Mark Reviewed in the course.

The Review Status column is only visible if Review Status has been enabled for the course.
