Time Graphs and Charts are among the newest features included in LAMS version 2.3.  Surely, authors/teachers as well as the learners/students will have their share of advantages from these.

In the Monitoring Environment, the graphs show how quickly learners move through the activities in a sequence.  If you're an author or a teacher, you can quickly troubleshoot areas where your students spend a lot of time on particular activities.  You can also easily identify students and learners who are moving at a slower pace than the rest of the class.   The graphs show "live" information as the learners move through the activities in sequence. 

The Time Graphs can be seen on the Learners Tab in the monitoring environment.  Viewing the Time Graph enables the monitor or teacher to see data on any learner in the sequence and compare their time to the class average. 

 

As authors, teachers, or monitors, you are also able to choose the learner from which to get information or statistics.  By viewing the Time Chart on each learner's activity stream, you can see the time they spent on each activity.  

Time Graphs and Charts are beneficial to authors and teachers in the following aspects:

• You understand your learners because you get to see how long it takes at every step

• You understand your curriculum by tracking time at each step
