See the Brand-New Course Progress Report - Like Table View, But Better

The new Course Progress Report takes the simplicity of Table View but makes it faster and even more useful! Improvements include:
  • Only showing the courses that your learners have worked on, automatically hiding irrelevant courses
  • Significantly faster loading & click-responsiveness
  • Better linkage with other reports (clicking on your learner’s name or a cell within the table will show a more detailed report)
  • Full-screen option to see more data at once

New & Improved Versions of Your Favorite Reports

                                       From This...                                                                                 To This!

Over the past year, the SonoSim Team has rebuilt many legacy features to be faster, more intuitive, and more useful (e.g., more learner progress data points). With the new Course Progress Report, we’ve completed that project! This means we will be sunsetting those legacy features on October 31, 2022, as they’re now redundant due to our new features. This will allow us to fully focus our efforts on improving these 2.0 features as well as building brand-new features, such as better assignment capabilities!

Here are the features that will be sunset and our recommendations for what to use instead:

  • Table View (admin feature) – Instead, use the new Course Progress Report, designed to be a faster, more streamlined version of Table View!
  • Radial View (admin feature) – Instead, the new Course Progress Report offers a great high-level class overview. Additionally, for an equivalent learner-data table, use the Detailed Status Report – Learner View.
  • Classic Reports (admin feature) – Instead, use the new suite of reports which have all the same information (plus new data points!) with the option to download into multiple file formats.
  • ePortfolio (learner feature) – Instead, use the new Image Portfolio Report, which has all the same data (plus new data points!). This learner report was recently updated to allow for downloading images from multiple modules at once AND now has course progress information within the PDF.

If you have any concerns or feedback, let us know!
