Learner Management

Overview

The learner management tab within a course provides administrators and instructors with a comprehensive set of tools to efficiently assign, monitor, and manage user course progress. MangoApps LMS offers a range of action menus based on a learner's course status, allowing instructors to update due dates, track progress, mark courses as complete, and more. Notably, the Mass Actions on Learners feature enables administrators to streamline user management by performing bulk actions across diverse course types, enhancing administrative efficiency and ensuring effective engagement in various learning scenarios.


Assign Course

Utilizing the Assign Course button, administrators can easily customize assignments by designating courses as required or optional, setting due dates, and adding personalized messages.

The Optional or Required tag will be prominently displayed on the course thumbnail within the user's My Learning menu. This visual indicator ensures that users can easily identify whether a course is mandatory or optional as they navigate through their learning materials.

From the 3-Dot action menu next to a user entry, instructors possess access to the course certificate, course interaction history, and permissions pertaining to the selected user. Earned certificates be viewed, downloaded, and even removed from a user. Depending on the user's course status, different menu options will appear:

  • Update/Add Course Due Date - When updating the course due date, if the "assigned by" user is unspecified, it will be automatically set to the admin making this update, and the course status will be changed to "Required" for the selected user. No notifications will be generated. Conversely, if the course due date is removed, the course will be marked as "Optional" for the user, and no notifications will be triggered.

Mass Actions on Users

Efficiently manage user progress and course participation with Mass Actions, designed to save time and effort for instructors and administrators. This feature empowers admins to select multiple learners within a course or curriculum and perform bulk actions across various course types.

For self-paced courses, admins can reset progress or mark users as complete/incomplete. In ILT courses, the corresponding action marks users as incomplete in the specific session.

Moreover, instructors can remove selected users, either entirely from the course or just from the session in ILT courses. The flexibility extends to the option to remove users from both the session and the course.

Additionally, in ILT courses, admins have the capability to select multiple learners for actions such as adding or changing sessions, enabling easy enrollment or movement between specific sessions within the course. This streamlined approach enhances administrative efficiency and ensures effective management of user engagement across diverse learning scenarios.
