Answer

Each course you are enrolled in has its own dashboard. You course dashboard includes a number of features to help you progress through your course.

This image shows the layout of the Course dashboard. The dashboard contains a top menu to assist with navigation in Vantage, access to the Table of Contents for the course, course details and progress indicators, and tabs tracking assignments that are upcoming or completed.

 

Navigation Menu

The top navigation menu at the upper right of your Course dashboard allows you to move around your Vantage account.

·       Dashboard: Takes you to the Course dashboard for the course you are currently in

·       Help: Opens the Vantage Technical Support website

·       Welcome, [Your Name]: View your profile page or logout of your account

 

Once you access course materials, the top navigation menu allows you to return to your My Courses dashboard, return to the Course dashboard, access Help options, view your profile or logout of Vantage.

 

Course Management Tools

The gear icon at the top right of your Course Dashboard banner opens the Course Management Tools menu.

The Course Management Tools can be accessed at the top right corner of the My Course Dashboard banner. The available tools include My Access and Transfer.

If you purchase access to Vantage using an email address other than your school email address, My Access allows you to apply the subscription to the appropriate account.

Transfer allows you to move yourself from one Vantage course section to a new course section.

 

TIP: When you transfer to another Vantage course, the new course must be for the same textbook / ISBN as the original course.

 

Table of Contents

The Table of Contents for your text is at the top left of the page. You can quickly access content for any chapter from this location.

The Table of Contents is available at the top left corner of your course. Click the Table of Contents to expand the chapter list.

Course Details

Your instructor's course details are available on your Course dashboard:

·       Textbook cover image

·       Course name

·       Section info (if applicable)

·       Course ID

·       Instructor's name

·       Start and end date of the course

The Course Details information includes the textbook cover of your course, your instructor's course name and section number, Course ID, instructor's name, and start and end dates of the course.

 

Course Progress Indicators

You can view your progress through the course assignments on your dashboard. The indicator on the left displays how many course assignments you have completed out of the total number of assignments. There are also indicators to the right for each assignment type.

The progress indicators on your Course Dashboard give a graphical reference for how many assignments out of the total number of assignments are complete along with a breakdown of tests, activities and knowledge checks.

 

Assignments tab

The Assignments tab makes it easy to keep track of any upcoming or overdue assignments. You can view the assignment's name and how many questions it contains. Video activities also list how long the video is. Assignments are listed in order of due date. If your instructor has not set a due date for the assignments, they are listed in order of appearance within the textbook.

You can click Start (or Continue if you have previously started the assignment) to go directly to that assignment. Overdue assignments will have red dates and Start buttons.

The Assignments tab on the Course dashboard lists all assignments that have not yet been completed. The list includes the due date for each assignment with the ability to start the assignment with the click of a button.

 

Completed Work tab

Any assignment you have fully completed at least one time are listed on the Completed Work tab. You can view the assignment's name, the date you completed it, and how many questions were included. Your current grade is listed with grades for assignments completed late in red. If the assignment allows multiple attempts, you can see the results of your most recent attempt for that assignment. If you want to retake an assignment, you can click Retake to go directly to that assignment.

TIP: Since your instructor can decide to record the best, most recent, or average of all attempts, the number of questions you got correct on the last attempt will not necessarily match what is in your instructor's gradebook.

The Completed Work tab on the Course dashboard lists all completed assignments with results for the most recent attempt. If multiple attempts are allowed for the assignment, the Retake button goes directly to the assignment for a new attempt.

 

The Completed Work tab provides tools to help you better monitor your progress through any assignments you have completed. These tools are available at the top right of your completed assignments list.

You can change the sort order by clicking Complete (Newest – Oldest) to expand the dropdown menu. Once you choose an option from the menu, your completed assignments will adjust to match your selection.

The sort order of assignments listed on the Completed Work tab of the Course Dashboard can be changed by clicking the dropdown menu at the top right. The default order is completed in order of Newest to Oldest.

You can also Filter your completed assignments list by the type of assignment. Make your selections and Apply or Reset to restore the list to its default.

The Completed Work tab shows all completed assignments. The Filter menu can be used to narrow the assignments displayed in the list.

You can visit the Detailed Results section to review any completed attempt.

A "Detailed Results" link is available at the top left of the Completed Work tab. This link allows a student to view the results of each attempt made for an assignment.

Click View next to any attempt to review your answers for that attempt. At the top left of the Detailed Results page, you can also Download a CSV file that includes completion dates and scores for all assignment attempts you have made.

When viewing the Detailed Results for completed assignment attempts, locate the assignment to review and click the View button to see specific information about that attempt.
