Student Tracking Reports in ANGEL

If you want to use student tracking in ANGEL, turn it on before any student activity occurs. For JCCC's setup we've, by default, turned off tracking for each course, each semester. Tracking only begins to work after it is enabled. If tracking is turned on at some point after student activity begins, any reports will appear faulty for dates prior to the date and time when tracking was enabled.

By the way, you can turn on tracking at the folder level and that setting will cascade to all items within the folder. Turning on tracking for an entire folder of items is a lot easier than going to each individual item in the folder to enable tracking.

It’s also important to note that if a user exits ANGEL by closing their browser (as opposed to logging off using the ANGEL ‘Power’ button), ANGEL will not accurately record the tracking data for the student in that session.
