Cheri Fraser, Learning Technology Manager at Michigan Virtual, shares how the Student Pacing Tool in D2L Brightspace helps students plan their workloads and stay on track when doing online courses. The tool gathers course items into a personalized pacing schedule and calculates target submission dates from each student’s course start and end dates. Students can use the schedule to plan their work, track their pace, and stay on course to finish on time.
Key takeaways:
- Access the Student Pacing Tool from within a Brightspace course
- View course items alongside their target submission dates
- Get a pacing schedule based on individual course start and end dates
- Use target dates to plan work and stay on pace
“It's basically a pacing schedule for the students.” — Cheri Fraser
