The retention centre is an instructor only tool that enables you to create "risk rules" that monitor activity, grades and deadlines in a module.

a. Enter a module and in the Control Panel at the bottom left, click Student Engagement. Then click Retention Centre.

b. You’ll see a table of Students currently at risk, as well as Your module activity and that of any Students you are monitoring.

a. You can define four types of rule to customise what you see in retention centre:

  1. Module Activity Rule: See a student’s activity in the module compared to the module average.
  2. Grade Rule: See if students are above or below a defined grade value.
  3. Module Access Rule: See if students have accessed the module since a certain date. Important: The Module Access rule isn't working at the moment. Please use the Performance Dashboard to see when students last accessed the module.
