Use of Average and Score on Results page and in dashboard (from the Forum) #1265

Open torinfo opened 7 months ago

As far as I understand it, in the xAPI dashboard view, Score is the average score of ALL content completed by a user in a LO, and Average accounts for the Tracking Weight. Therefore, these numbers can be very different. Users see the Average on the results page.

On the xAPI dashboard, the Score is shown by default, but not the Average. It is possible to see a user's Average by clicking on the row to get the detailed information, but that is not practical to see an overview of the Averages.

In my opinion, this seems the wrong way around - Average seems to be more important than Score, since it is what users see. Would it be possible to show Average instead of (or as well as) Score in the xAPI dashboard? Both would still be available in the detailed per-user view.

I believe the observation is not completely correct. I think Average is the avergae score so far (taking into consideration the Tracking Weight) Score is the Average weighted to completion.

So if Average is 100% and completion is 50% than Score will be 50%

It would be good to verify this statement and include tooltips to explain this. If this is the case, I still think that the Score should be shown to the user. We might want to swap Average and Score in the Results page.
