Days Since Last Action (Definition)

The number of days since the student submitted or saved an activity in the course. This applies to any activity — counted or not counted. This number corresponds to the Last Gradebook Entry metric on the Manage Enrollments page.

For typical implementations, this number should be less than four. Block scheduling where students only work certain days of the week on specific subjects may cause this number to be higher than normal.

The relevant actions are Submit, Save and Exit, and clicking the home page button on the player.

Purpose:

  • Monitor how long its been since a student was active in a particular course
