Read the Step-by-Step Grid

What is the step-by-step grid?

The grid is the main part of the Lessons Dashboard. Each row is a Lesson and each column reflects Learner performance at a step, so you can scan across a Lesson to find its trouble spots.

What is in the Lesson Name column?

Each row begins with the Lesson title followed by its Module. A three-dot menu on the row gives you Edit (open the Lesson directly) and Preview (view it from the Learner's perspective).

How do you read Total Incorrect and Total Attempts?

Read these two together. A high Total Incorrect on a Lesson with very high Total Attempts may simply reflect volume, while a high count on a low-attempt Lesson points to a real content problem.

What do the step columns show?

Each step column shows either a percentage or a count of incorrect actions, depending on your view setting.

• A colored cell indicates recorded tap data, with severity shown by color.
• 0 Actions appears when no incorrect taps were recorded at that step.
• -- indicates the step does not exist in that Lesson.

How do you sort the grid?

Select any column header to sort by that metric. Select it a second time to reverse the order.

How do you use this data?

Identify high-error Lessons using Total Incorrect, then look across their step columns. Investigate red cells first by opening the Heatmap Viewer.
