EdgeEX — Understanding the Teacher Actions Report

Administrators can run the Teacher Actions Report to view and export actions taken by educators and administrators in EdgeEX courses. 

 Permission

By default, Administrator Reports are visible to district administrators. For school administrators and teachers to see the reports, the View District Reports permission must be enabled on the user account. Data in the Administrator Reports includes only the school or schools associated with the user's account.

The Teacher Actions Report covers actions such as:

  • Course customizations
  • Course option customizations
  • Grade changes
  • Reset activities
  • Teacher comments
  • Unlocked activities

There are 2 reports in the Teacher Actions Report:

  • Main report: Reports on who took an action, when it took place, and the details of the action.
  • Aggregate report: Reports on the aggregate of how many times a user took a particular action.

Data on the report is for a rolling one-year period, which means older data drops off the report as new data is added.

You can export the report. For information, reference Administrator Reports overview.
