Ranking
The account's points scoreboard: who scored the most in the period, participants, total and average, the product filter and how long points take to show.
The Ranking is the account scoreboard: the students with the most points in a period. It is the same ranking the student sees in their area, with filters for the administrator. Use it to see who stands out or to pick the winners of a challenge.
How it works
A student earns points when they do something the account scores. For example: finishing a lesson, passing an exam, commenting. The ranking adds the period's points and orders the students. If two students tie, the alphabetical order of the name decides.
The report is in Reports → Ranking, in the Engagement group.
What the screen shows
- The period's numbers. Participants (how many students scored), Total points and Average per student.
- The podium. The top three, with photo, name and points.
- Other positions, from fourth place on: Position, Student (name and email), Points in period and Last access on.
Click a row to open the student's profile (View student). This needs the permission to see students. Without it, the row does not open.
The ranking goes up to the 100th position. The list loads in blocks of 12 with Load more results.
If nobody scored in the chosen filter, the screen shows Empty ranking.
The filters
- Period: This month (the default), Last month, All time or Custom. The Period chip opens From and To to pick a range. A month means the whole calendar month.
- Product: one or more products. With the chip, only points earned in those products count. Without the chip, it is the account's overall scoreboard.
A product's ranking is also inside the product. In Content → Products, open the product. In the header, the Reports group has the Ranking tab. It is this same screen, already filtered by the product.
When points show
Heads up: the ranking is not instant.
- In the dashboard report, automatic points (lessons, exams, comments) arrive in about 15 minutes. Manual adjustments arrive right away.
- In the student area, the ranking updates once a day and shows the top 20. That is why "my points went up but my position did not change" on the same day is expected.
Good to know
Manual adjustment without a product.
It counts in the overall scoreboard, but not in a product's ranking. To reward performance in a course, tie the adjustment to the course.
Student in the trash.
They leave the ranking. If restored, they come back with the same points.
Changing point values does not recalculate the past.
Whoever finished a lesson when it was worth 10 points keeps the 10.
Frequently asked questions
Can I see where a student's points came from?
Yes. Open their profile from the ranking. The scores tab lists every entry with its reason (see Student profile).
The student shows in the account ranking but not in the product's. Why?
Their points came from another product or from a manual adjustment without a product. A product's ranking only adds what was earned in it.
My points went up and my position did not change.
In the student area, the ranking updates once a day. The position changes the next day.
