The ‘How valuable is a Course to learners?’ dashboard is where you will find user feedback compiled, to give you the tools to improve your enablement efforts.

Filtering options

The Division and Course Name filters influence all of the dashboard sections. By default, the selected options will be all the divisions you have access to, and all Courses.

Select one division and/or one Course to see the specific data for your selection.
Hover over the filter and click on the three dot menu to reset the data to default or refresh the available options.

On the Course Name filter, you’ll see the menu option ‘Showing only relevant values’. This opens an informational pop-up that explains, when selecting a specific Division, only the Courses included in it will show on the Course Name filter.

Average Rating

The first section of the dashboard displays the overall Course rating given by users. To start, select which Division and Course you want the dashboard to reflect. You can select All Courses, or choose a specific Course to hone in on.

The starts represent the average rating given by users. The percentage below explains how many of the Course participants rated the Course. If this percentage is very low, or there are high completions but low ratings, this could be a historical Course with completions prior to the release of the Learning Feedback feature.

Note that some users may have submitted more than one rating, so the percentage provided is an approximate indicator to help decide how seriously to take the overall rating.

Breakdown by ratings 

This breakdown provides insight that allows you to compare the ratings various Courses have received. Note that only the ratings that have been given by your users will show while the ratings that have not been voted doesn’t display (in the example below, this Course was rated with 5, 4 and 2 stars).

To the right of the breakdown chart, you'll find some useful tips. If you're looking at all Courses in your chosen division (s), you'll see a ranking of the top Courses in your organization based on the average ratings. If you're looking at one specific Course, you will find information there about how that Course ranks among the others based on its rating. 

 

Breakdown by reviewers

Lastly, the breakdown by reviewer chart will show each user who has given a review within the selected division(s) for the selected Courses, the rating and comment they gave, as well as the status of the comment and the response the Course creator or admin gave, if any.

Click the three dot menu to export the table to CSV or Excel.
