Progress Tracking<\/strong> is a tool in Blackboard Learn Ultra that enables you and your instructors to track your progress in a Blackboard Course (like a checklist). You can see the progress tracking icon next to each content item, on your Course Content page. This icon is displayed as a circle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Progress Tracking Symbols<\/a>
Mark Items as Complete<\/a>
Progress list in Content Table<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Progress tracking is not <\/strong>an assessment tool and will not affect your marks. It will help you keep track of your progress through your learning materials and your instructors to review the course content and your progress. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Progress Tracking Symbols<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As shown in the image below, you will see: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • an empty<\/strong> circle if you haven\u2019t yet opened the item <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • a partially filled<\/strong> circle when you\u2019ve opened the item, but not completed it <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • a green check mark<\/strong> when you\u2019ve completed the task or marked the item as complete<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    \"Progress<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    \n

    Assignments, Tests, Journals and Discussions will automatically be marked as complete when you have made the submission. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    Mark Items as Complete<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    You can mark items such as documents, files and links as complete once you have opened them by clicking on the button:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Marking<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    When all items in a folder have been completed, the folder will automatically be marked as complete: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"When<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Note<\/strong>: A folder cannot be marked as complete until all the items within the folder have been completed or marked as complete. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Progress list in Content Table<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    When you open content in materials in a learning area, then where there are multiple documents to view, a table of contents is viewable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This helps you track which parts you have completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
