Lesson Reporting
At the end of the lesson there are several options for reporting results.
A reporting mechanism is added to the last page of the lesson by
- Going to the Properties menu and choosing "Lesson Reporting"
- Choosing one of first three reporting mechanisms
- Typing in the information about lesson title, institution, passing level et
Print Certificate of Completion
- If the student score is higher than the passing rate, they will be able to view and print a Certificate of Completion
- Note: Do not fill in the "CEU" for your course unless you are sure that Continuing Education Credits have been officially approved!
Print Score Summary
- Students can view and print a summary of their scores. This will contain the date, percent passing, and time spent on the lesson.
Note
Unfortunately, there is no easy way for distance students to "turn in" their score summary or certificate. (They can view and print it but they cannot save it in any format that may be turned in to instructor. They only way to "save" the Certificate or Summary electronically is to take a "screen snapshot" of the window showing the certificate or summary. They can then turn in the image as a graphics file or as a graphic pasted into a Word Processing document.
Email Completion Results
The results may be sent to an email address. The instructor must have access to the original Softchalk lesson to update the email address. Unfortunately, the email subject does NOT contain either the lesson name or the name of the student, so this is not an ideal solution if you have a large number of students and a large variety of lessons.
Upload as SCORM unit to Blackboard
The completed lesson can be uploaded to UAS Online or Blackboard. In Blackboard it can be loaded as a SCORM unit which will let the score for the lesson be recorded in the gradebook.
Important!
All of these methods report the results for ONE session of the lesson. Students cannot start the lesson, complete only part of it, then return later. This is because there is no way to "store" student scores between sessions. It is best not to ask the students to report results from a lesson that is too long or has too many graded items in it. (This lesson is an example!) Even if results are not reported, you will still find the learning activities useful to make the lessons more interactive and to provide a means of "self-evaluation."
Two reporting mechanisms are shown below. A 50% passing rate has been set for the activities in this lesson - you will not be able to view a certificate unless you have that many points. You can always "View Score Summary" however. The option to email results was not chosen for this lesson.
