There are many and varied options for available for selecting and sorting these reports. You may sort by activity, student, date, time, IP address, action, and more. Reports allows the Teacher to see every click the students have made in your course site.

Scales

Teachers can create new custom scales to be used in your course for any grading activities. The name of the scale should be a phrase that identifies it clearly: this will appear in scale-selection lists, as well as on context-sensitive help buttons.
The scale itself is defined by an ordered list of values, ranging from negative to positive, separated by commas. For example: Disappointing, Not good enough, Average, Good, Very good, Excellent!

To begin working with Scales in your course, click on the Scales link in your course's Administration block.

1. You will notice that there are existing Standard scales defined in the AsULearn site by the AsULearn administrator. These scales are available for use in all courses. Click the "Add a new scale" button to begin creating a custom scale.

   

2. A custom scale is made up of three components: Name, Scale, and Description.

   

   Use the following helpful suggestions in creating your custom Scale:
• Name: The name of the scale should be a phrase that identifies it clearly. This will appear in scale-selection lists, as well as on context-sensitive help buttons.
• Scale: The scale itself is defined by an ordered list of values, ranging from negative to positive, separated by commas. For example:
  
  Disappointing, Not good enough, Average, Good, Very good, Excellent!
• Description: A Scale should also include a good description of what it means and how it is expected to be used. This description will appear in help pages for teachers and students.
