2.2.3. WHY SHOULD I APPLY LEARNING PROGRESS MEASUREMENT TOOLS IN VLE?

Pedagogical point-of -view:

• Allows teachers creating a list of necessary conditions, upon fulfillment of which the study subject will be completed;
• Allows for personalization of learning;
• Contributes self-regulated learning;
• Promotes student-centered approach to learning/teaching/assessing;
• Enables teachers to identify students-at-risk;
• Informs teachers how to modify instruction based on students’ learning (Stecker, Fuchs and Fuchs, 2005).

Technical point-of-view:

• Enables students to manually or automatically mark completed activities or viewed resources;
• Allows easy gathering of information on student learning;
• Enables students to monitor the percentage expression of the completion of the study subject;
• Provides user-friendly graphical representations as well as reports of data regarding learning progress;
• Assists teachers with monitoring of learning in online and blended delivery modes as well as with tracking student progress in huge classrooms
