How can I check that I’ve completed all of the required coursework?

Do I have to complete all of the activities in the module to receive credit or just the Pre-Assessments and Exam-Readiness Quizzes?

You should complete all of the Did I Get This? and Learn by Doing learning activities found within the course's OLI exposition in addition to the Pre-Assessments and Exam-Readiness Quizzes.  For more information about the weight given to each assignment, please review the Grading Policy.


Is there a way to confirm the work that I have done in the course?

I'm having trouble getting my progress bar to be filled up, even though I have completed all the activities and looked through all the pages. When I click on available practice, it shows me gray circles, meaning that I have worked on it. How can I fix this problem?

If you believe you have completed a module but the blue progress bar is not full, try clicking one of the Collapse All buttons.

     


Is the blue progress bar only found when you launch Open Learning Initiative (OLI) or is it in Canvas as well? I am having trouble finding the page with the blue progress bars.

Yes. The blue progress bar can only be found in OLI.  You can access the progress bar by visiting My Scores in the C@CM Open Learning Initiative (OLI) course.


Do the blue bars represent my grades?

The blue progress bar in Open Learning Initiative (OLI) is a visual interpretation of a student's completion of each module, as well as the whole of the course. Some bars represent Pre-Assessments (the first bar in units 1-4 will represent a Pre-Assessment), while others represent the required learning activities (Did I Get This? Learn By Doing).  Exam-Readiness Quizzes and the Final Exam will be shown as an actual score instead of a bar.

You can view your progress on the LAs and see your scores for the PAs and ERQs by visiting the My Scores page in OLI. You'll find a link to the My Scores page on the Syllabus in OLI.

In the example below, the student has completed all assignments in Modules 11, 12, and 15.  The student has completed some assignments in Modules 13 and 14, but none in Module 16.

You will need to expand and collapse the columns depending on which type of assignment you're looking at.

     


Learning Dashboard Walkthrough

The Learning Dashboard in OLI will show you which learning activities you've completed along with how well you're learning the material.

From the Syllabus page in OLI, select the Available Practice link under a module to open the Learning Dashboard.

Here you'll see all of the Learning Objectives associated with the module. The dots on the left-hand side indicate how well you've performed on questions related to the corresponding objective.

  • Green indicates that you likely know the material very well.
  • Yellow means that you'd benefit from additional practice and you should complete more of the LAs.
  • Red means that you're performing poorly and need more practice by completing the LAs.
  • Grey means that you haven't done any LAs or you've done too few for us to estimate your learning level.

Clicking on the Show Activities link under the learning objective will display all of the LAs related to the objective. It'll tell you which ones you've completed and which ones you still need to work on.
