Open any course and scroll to Course Analytics & Insights on the dashboard. Analytics render in their own calm, pale-blue view so they're easy to distinguish from the rest of the course tools.
What you get
Class average & distribution, the overall class average and a grade-distribution breakdown so you can see the shape of a cohort, not just a single number.
Outcome attainment, how the class is performing against your Course Learning Outcomes, tying results back to the outcomes you set.
Student-success / at-risk view, surfaces students who are falling behind early, so you can reach out before a small gap becomes a big one.
OBE matrix, a matrix view connecting assessments to CLOs and PLOs for accreditation reporting.
Analytics are read-only insights, they summarise the grades you've already entered and never change a student's mark.
What's on Free and what's on Pro
Class-wide figures are on every plan: the class average, the grade distribution, and the counts in each Student Success band, so you always know how many students need attention.
The per-student and per-outcome detail is where the plans differ.
Free, Class analytics with your most at-risk student and your weakest outcome in full, plus every band and outcome count. You see one genuine at-risk student in full, with their gap to target, weakest outcomes and missing work, and the worst-performing CLO row on the outcome matrix.
ProfDesk Pro, Full analytics: every at-risk student with their gap, weakest outcomes and recoverable marks, the complete CLO and PLO attainment matrix with per-outcome drill-downs, and CSV export for your course file. Student Activity Insights beta access is included with Pro for now..
Nothing is calculated differently between plans, and no data is discarded. Everything is measured for every student the whole time; Pro decides how much of it is shown at once. Upgrading reveals the full set immediately, with no recalculation and no waiting.
Course Analytics & Insights: class average, grade distribution, attainment and at-risk students.
Acting on the insights
Spotting an at-risk student is the first step, from there you can message the student directly, review their submissions, or adjust upcoming assessments.
