UVLe Activities
In addition to UVLe Activities like Assignment, Chat, Choice, Quiz, Wiki, the following are special activity types on UVLe:
Attendance
A classroom teacher can now take attendance and record it directly in UVLe. Points may also be assigned to students being present, late, absent, or excused. To enable this functionality, add the Attendance activity on UVLe.
Activities Using Learning Tools
Progress Bar
Progress Bar is a block to be added on UVLe to be able to visually track the progress of students' activities.
Engagement Analytics
Complementing the Progress Bar is the Engagement Analytics block that the teacher can add so that the students themselves can see their own level of engagements in the course. Student activities like login, Forum, Assignments are aggregated and computed into certain figures.
Checklist
A checklist of items can be created and ticked off by the teacher or the students. It also includes features like:
- additional notes for the checklist
