See Each Learner's Lesson Progress in a Course

Open a course's Progress tab to see who has started or finished each lesson, time spent, one learner's course work and a lesson export.

Written by Artur Binzaru

This guide is for course providers and trainers with on-demand or blended courses (courses with online lessons). It shows how to use a course's Progress tab to see which learners have started or completed each lesson, how long they spent, one learner's course work and test results, and how to export or print them.

​

To find learners by their overall course completion or recent activity, use Find Learners Who Are Inactive or Have Not Finished. To review submitted quizzes, use View Quiz or Test Results and Mark Answers.

​


​

Open a Course's Progress Tab to See Lesson Progress

  1. Select Courses, open the on-demand or blended course and select Progress. For a blended course, check the selected course dates before reading the results.

  2. In the outline on the left, expand the section containing the lesson and select the lesson's name. The table on the right shows its learners and their status.

The outline contains published lessons. The number beside a lesson shows how many learners have completed it out of the registrations counted. Draft and cancelled registrations are excluded. You need the System Admin role, or the Course Owner or Facilitator role with access to the course or date. A System Admin sees every course; a Course Owner, or a Facilitator (a trainer or tutor), sees only the courses and dates they can access. See What Can a Facilitator, Course Owner or System Admin Do?

Course Progress showing the lesson outline and each learner’s lesson status

If there are no published lessons, publish the intended lessons in the course editor first. Build and Organise Lessons in an Online Course explains how. If the page says progress could not be loaded, refresh it; that error does not mean the course has no lessons.

​

See Which Learners Have Started or Completed Each Lesson

Above the table, select All, Completed, Started or Not Started:

  • All: every registration included in this course and date selection that you are allowed to see.

  • Completed: the lesson has a completed progress record.

  • Started: the lesson has been opened but is not recorded as completed.

  • Not Started: no start or completion is recorded for this lesson.

If these views do not fit across the table, open the current view's dropdown to choose one.

​

These are statuses for the selected lesson. They are separate from overall course Completion. The Date column shows when the lesson was completed or opened. For a learner without a start date on this lesson, it shows where they are in the course instead.

​

Use Search and filters to narrow the table. Search finds a learner by first name, last name or email. Selecting another status tab replaces the current filters with that view's rules and keeps Search. Check the visible rules before exporting. For the general controls, see Find Records with Filters and Saved Views.

​

Open One Learner's Progress Record (Lessons, Quizzes and Forms)

  1. Select the learner's row in the lesson table. Their Registration opens in a side panel.

  2. Expand Progress, then the section containing the lesson.

  3. Check the lesson status and any quiz or form entries below it. Quiz and form entries use their names, so you can choose the submission you need.

Opening progress does not change it. To correct a lesson's status, follow Reset or Correct a Learner's Lesson Progress and check the effect on completion and certificates before saving.

​

Get a Learner's Course Work and Test Results to Print

The Progress tab and the learner's progress record have no print button. To keep a printed copy of one learner's work for their file, export it and print the files from a spreadsheet program, such as Excel or Google Sheets:

  • Test and quiz results with answers: select the quiz in the outline, type the learner's name or email in Search, select Export, choose Answers under Records, select Export Now, then Download CSV. The file has each attempt's result, score, answers, marks and feedback. Uploaded files are listed by file name only; download them from the learner's answers. See View Quiz or Test Results and Mark Answers.

  • Lesson completion: select each lesson, search for the learner, select Export, then Download CSV. The file shows their status, date and time on that lesson.

  • Answers and files submitted in lesson forms: a System Admin or Course Owner selects the form in the outline to open its responses from this course. Find and Manage Form Responses (Submitted Answers) explains how to export responses and download uploaded files.

Each export covers one lesson, quiz or form, so repeat it for each one you need.

​


​

How Long Did a Learner Spend on a Lesson? (Time and Inactivity)

The Took column means different things according to the lesson's status:

  • For a completed lesson, it shows recorded active time on that lesson, when the full lesson was tracked. It is not the calendar time between opening and completing the lesson.

  • For a started lesson, it shows the number of days since the learner last had that lesson open. Move the pointer over the value to see the recorded date.

  • A dash means there is no time to show. In particular, lessons started before 21 October 2026 do not have a complete tracked lesson time.

Recorded inactivity does not establish why someone has stopped opening a lesson. Course-wide Time Spent, Last Seen and Last Progress measure different things; see Find Learners Who Are Inactive or Have Not Finished.

​

Export Lesson Progress and Completion for a Course (CSV)

  1. Select the lesson and check the course dates, Search, filters and visible columns.

  2. Select Export above the lesson table. Cademy starts generating a CSV for the matching learners.

  3. When it is ready, select Download CSV. You can close the dialog and receive the export by email when it is ready.

The export follows the selected lesson, course/date scope, filters, sorting and visible table columns. The Name column also supplies the organisation. Lesson Progress exports cannot be scheduled. For other export types and download guidance, see Export or Download Your Data as a CSV File.

​

View Quiz Results and Form Responses From the Progress Tab

Quizzes and forms appear below their lesson in the left outline. Select a quiz to open its results, or a form to open its responses. These are different tasks with their own guides:

To interpret overall course completion rather than one lesson's status, see Check Whether a Learner Has Completed a Course.
