User Activity Timeline
Answered
It would be helpful to have an activity timeline for each user, accessible by:
-
Administrators – for all users
-
Trainers/Assessors – for their assigned students
Ideally, this timeline would provide detailed insights into student activity, including:
-
When assessments are accessed
-
When assessments are saved or reopened
-
Time spent on assessments during specific sessions
-
Login dates and times
Currently, we can only see the last login time and the date an assessment is submitted. This limits our ability to fully monitor and support student engagement.

Thanks for getting back to me.
We’d use the activity timeline primarily to better support student engagement, retention, and troubleshooting. Here are a few examples of how this would be useful:
Student Engagement Monitoring - If a student claims they’re working through an assessment but isn’t making progress, we could check when they last accessed the task, how long they spent on it, and whether any updates were saved. This helps trainers intervene early and offer targeted support.
Identifying At-Risk Students - Lack of login activity or very short sessions might indicate disengagement. A timeline would help us identify these patterns before students fall too far behind.
Troubleshooting Issues - Sometimes students say their work disappeared or wasn’t saved. Being able to see when they logged in, what they accessed, and when they saved progress would help us verify and resolve these issues quickly.
We're also unable to adhere to the required evidence for online participation, per the 21/25 SAS audit requirements.
Currently, we can achieve this level of detailed activity monitoring through another learning management system, Cloud Assess, so we know it is possible and valuable in practice.
