Tracking students' quiz progress by referring to the orange notifications on the Grades page?
Hi D2L community,
Does anyone else here use the orange dot method to track quiz progress of students? & Has anyone encountered the issue where the orange dot disappears but the students quiz progress is still underway?
A few lecturers I know of tend to track students' quiz progress status via the Grades page (i.e. the one from Assignments & Assessments tab > Grades, not the one from the Quiz dropdown).
The student's quiz progress shows up as an orange dot if the student is in the midst of an attempt, and of course, when the student has completed and submitted the quiz, the orange dot disappears (unless it's pending grading from lecturer) and the quiz grade appears. Hence, lecturers are able to identify which students are in the midst of attempting the quiz when they note the orange dot.
Unfortunately, there've been some times when our lecturers report that they are no longer able to see the orange dot. And the next solution would be to use the Quiz > Grades > Search feature to track the students' quiz progress. While this search method works, it's a little bit more of a hassle compared to the orange dot method… which have led a few lecturers to ask about why would the orange dot disappear.
Based on the troubleshooting I've done so far, I believe there's no setting to toggle this orange dot? Appreciate any insights or sharing from the community if any. Thank you!
