7. Reissue Course Feature

Sometimes students need a do-over on their course; Maybe time runs out too quickly, the WiFi connection isn’t strong enough for streaming videos, or maybe they accidentally click the submit button prematurely. Whatever the reason, CertCentral just made it easier for you to reissue courses to students.

• Once a course is reissued, the student can pick up where they left off and take the course over again.
• Please note, if you make any edits to your program, students will be reissued the new version of the course and can start from scratch.
• To reissue a course:
  • Navigate to the Invite Students page within your course of interest.
  • Click “Manage User” of the student(s) you would like to give a do-over to.
  • Finally, on the resulting dropdown menu, click “Reissue Course.”

8. Preview Student Progress

• View course progress in student profiles.
• See how far along students are in your courses or exams.
• Observe the answers they are selecting prior to submitting programs.
• To preview student progress, take the following steps:
  • Navigate to the Students Section of the header.
  • Click “Manage User” for the student whose course progress you would like to view.
  • On the resulting dropdown menu, click “View Profile.”
  • Under the Details column of “Courses in Progress” or “Exams in Progress” click “View Progress.” A new tab will open showing the student’s progress thus far.
