Used effectively, digital tools can help educators collect and analyse student performance data to help them refine their teaching practices. One example is the Learning Mastery Gradebook view in the Canvas learning management system (LMS), which helps collect data on progress made towards achieving individual course learning outcomes and presents the information a highly visual way. The average student attainment for each learning outcome is displayed in real time at the top, providing a clear snapshot of the overall cohort’s success or failure in each outcome. The progress of individual students can also be seen.
