Teachers can now allow their students to track their average grades in an online learning environment. By enabling this feature, students enrolled in online courses, distance learning programs, and virtual classrooms can effortlessly track their progress and monitor how the grades they receive on assignments impact their overall performance. This is especially helpful because it increases motivation and transparency, which both boost the advantages of online learning.

Students can see their average grade as a percentage or within the online course's grading scheme. This is the best choice for students who wish to effectively monitor their performance through e-learning. Educators are in complete control of whether or not students may access this information, which makes it a feature that can be customized to improve flexibility in online learning.
