Coming Soon
|
||||
**************************
|
||||
|
||||
We're pleased to announce the following upcoming change:
|
||||
|
||||
* Course teams will soon be able to access data about their courses on a
|
||||
dedicated dashboard for course-specific data. By providing insights into who
|
||||
your students are, and what they do while interacting with your course, the
|
||||
data available on this dashboard can validate choices you’ve made, reveal
|
||||
unexpected patterns, and inform plans for changes to the course.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**************************
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
edX platform.
