While basic analyses are great for getting an overview of your course, filters allow
you to do some fine tuning to get more sophisticated results. You can find the filters
on the right-hand side of the dashboard. The graph will change based on your
selections in the filter.
The date-range filter allows you to choose which time period to focus on by using
the slider tool in the filter section. To give you some information while you explore
the data, the slider tool contains a preview of your graph. Another way to refine the
data is to filter students by letter grade (A, B, C, D, and F). Your analysis can also be
refined to regard only certain learning objects.
The drop-down menu contains all of the learning objects in your course. If you
want to explore a specific type of learning object, you can use the “Types of learning
objects” filter.

example course to navigate through these themes, stated in the form of questions.
