Instructor Experiences

Analytics, gradebook, and communication tools for instructors managing active courses.

6 feature areas

Analytics & Insights

Analytics & Insights covers the data and visualization tools that instructors use to understand learner behavior — engagement rates, video watch times, problem attempts, completion patterns, and course-level aggregations.

Gradebook & Assessment

Gradebook & Assessment covers the instructor-facing tools for viewing, managing, and adjusting learner grades — including the gradebook MFE, grade overrides, bulk grade import/export, and grade debugging tools.

Enrollment & Cohorts

2012

Enrollment & Cohorts covers the tools instructors use to manage who is in their course — manual enrollment/unenrollment, cohort group assignment, enrollment reports, and access control. Cohorts allow instructors to segment learners into groups that see different content (cohorted discussions, cohorted content tracks).

Discussion Moderation

Discussion Moderation covers the instructor-side tools for managing course discussion forums — reviewing flagged posts, removing inappropriate content, marking answers as endorsed, pinning announcements, and configuring discussion settings.

Course Reporting

Course Reporting covers the downloadable data reports available to instructors — grade reports, problem grade reports, completion data, survey results, enrollment data, and certificate status. These reports are generated as CSV files and downloaded from the instructor dashboard.

Bulk Communication

Bulk Communication covers the tools instructors use to send messages to enrolled learners at scale — course announcements, email campaigns, deadline reminders, and scheduled messages. This is primarily an email channel, though the `edx-ace` framework supports additional channels.
