Virtual Learning Environment Student Analytics

This project will develop new functionality allowing students to view their activity/performance on a particular course within LEARN. Students will also be able to compare their data relative to the (anonymised) data relating to their peers.  Staff will be able to see a fuller picture of all activity for all students in a course with comparative/relative measures.
