Request for Guidance on Tracking Practical Skills in D2L for Postgraduate Medical Program

We are currently managing a postgraduate program in surgery under the College of Medicine, and we’re looking to enhance how we track student progress on practical training requirements within our D2L Brightspace LMS.
Background:
As part of the program, students are required to complete specific hands-on surgical skills before being allowed to sit for their final exam. These are tracked as pass/fail components and are mandatory for program completion. For example:
- Perform 10 surgical operations on the head
- Perform 10 surgical operations on the arm
We need a solution that allows both:
- Students to view their own progress clearly — what’s completed vs. still in progress.
- Supervisors/Instructors to monitor progress and determine when a student is eligible to enter the exam phase.
Could you please advise on the best way to achieve this in D2L?
We’d appreciate any documentation, use case examples, or recommendations on how to implement this effectively within D2L.
Looking forward to your guidance.
