Detailed Course Report
Detailed Course Report
Availability: in all courses via LMS Analytics item in course navigation
Best used: pre-semester for greater understanding of student cohort; post semester for course review
The report provides insights into student demographics, academic results and program & other course enrolments, as well as information about the course. The report allows for comparison with up to five previous iterations of the course.

How can it be used?
The Detailed Course Report can be used to:
- identify cohorts that may be at risk based on pass rates and grades in previous semesters
- identify specific students that may be at risk based on number of previous attempts at course
- identify cohorts that may be at risk based on current enrolment load
- identify the top other courses students are currently enrolled in to avoid assessment clashes with those courses
- identify any program cohorts that may be at risk based on previous performance
- identify any trends in pass rates and grade/mark distribution of students over time
- Observe any changes in enrolment numbers and demographic characteristics of the course. Increases or decreases in numbers may impact student experience or signal a change in value of the course offering.
- Check completion of assumed knowledge and pre-requisite courses. This may inform adjustments in approaches to teaching or resources that are made available.
- use as an resource to onboard new course coordinators
- use as a resource during course reviews
