Performance Category Management automatically assigns a label (a performance category) and optionally its description to each Learner's overall performance in a certain Activity.
With Performance Category Setup you can create custom performance categories related to a certain Activity. Based on their performance throughout the Activity, Learners will be categorized.
In order to assign a category to the performance of each individual, you have to specify the categories for the Activity. On the Performance Category Setup page, you can
- name the categories,
- enter their description
- and specify the requirement sets.

Performance categories can be further specified by selecting a participating SP and/or adding different requirement sets. |
Two category tables are displayed by default: Category #1: New Category and Category Failed. Each added category is numbered sequentially and is presented in its own panel.

The categories need to be associated with percentage scores. The best category (the one requiring the highest score) has to be Category #1, while the next range of percentage should be set within Category #2 etc. |
Requirements are made up of two parts in the categories.
- Scope: the kind of score the requirement is about.
- Check Value: the value the particular score should be compared to. This could be an absolute (50%) or a relative value (class average - 2 STDEV).
Info |
---|
The Scope and the Check Value are always separated by the > sign, indicating that the selected score should be greater than the selected check value to fulfill the requirement. |
You can set the Scope for the
- Activity level,
- Case level,
- Skill area level.

(the condition the check value refers to):

A Check Value is made up of a type and a specified value: E.g. Absolute value: direct % numerical value, the minimum requirement of the student performance The Percentile Score column contains the learner's percentile score in the corresponding section of the Activity. This shows how many percent of the class (more exactly the learner group) performed worse than the concerned learner. The conditions are always the minimal requirements. Fulfilled requirements are given the TRUE value, conditions, where the student performance is below the required level, will get the FALSE value.
These requirement sets make up the categories assigned to student performance. You can specify as many requirement sets as you wish, and you can have as many requirements within these requirement sets as you need. The order of performance categories is important because Learning Space checks if the Learner fits in the first group, then in the second etc., until it finds a “match”. The order of the Categories has to be set up decreasingly. Example 1: The Category 1 is going to be 90%, Category 2 - > 80% etc. According to this setup, a Learner with 75% performance will be false for Category 1, and Category2, and will be true for Category 3 (as greater than 70%). Example 2: Workaround -> Name Category #1 as "A - Excellent" Selected SP: All SPs Must pass any --- out of the 1 requirement.
This means that any Learner who has more than 91.99% as Activity total score, will be categorized under the "A - Excellent" category. -> Name Category #2 as "B - Very good" Selected SP: All SPs Must pass any --- out of the 1 requirement.
This means that any Learner who has more than 83.99% as event total score, but no more than 91.99% will be categorized under the "B - Very good" category. |
When reviewing reports, the performance category labels are assigned to each student based on their performance and shown on the reports page.
