Using Track Pages | Top

Track Pages allows you to track how students are progressing through the course material. You can see the course pages that students are accessing, how many times the pages have been visited, and the amount of time spent on each page. Note: The Track Pages tool can only track pages contained in a content module. Single pages added outside of a content module are not included.

To access Track Pages:

From the Control Panel, click Manage Course. The Manage Course screen appears.
Click Track Pages. The Track Page Use screen appears, containing two tables: the Totals table and the Page tracking table.

The Page tracking table shows you how often students are visiting pages in the content module and for how long. It contains the following columns:

Column	Definition
Page Name	Title of the page
Hits	Number of times a page is accessed
Time	Total time students spent on the page
Time/Hit	Average time spent per visit ("hit")
Posts	Number of Discussions postings made from the page

Note: If more than 30 minutes elapse between page accesses, it is assumed that the student is no longer viewing the page. As a result, WebCT does not count the page or the elapsed time. Although this may affect the accuracy of the Time/Hit values, for large samples, this provides a reasonable approximation.

Sorting the Track Pages table by column | Top

From the Track Page Use screen, in the Page Tracking table, click the column heading that you want to use to sort the table. The table refreshes and is sorted in an ascending order based on the selected column. A sorting icon appears beside the column heading.

Clearing Track Pages totals | Top

From the Track Page Use screen, above the Totals table, click Reset. A warning message appears.
Click OK. The records in the Totals table and the Page Tracking table are cleared.
