CourseKey Skills Tracker

CourseKey is a student success platform purpose-built for vocational education programs. It’s student-driven, mobile-first approach improves the entire student lifecycle—helping more students get from day one to graduation day.  CourseKey collects timely and accurate data from every learning environment, visualizes it into accessible dashboards, and automatically acts on it to intervene with at-risk students and celebrate student wins. Students input completed skills into the CourseKey student app. Depending on your program requirements, they can submit files including pictures, PDFs, and short videos alongside their skills. Instructors have a queue of skills that they can approve/reject with the touch of a button, or grade the skill depending on your program requirements.  If skills need review by an external party like a site preceptor, you trigger competency evaluations after every skill, a set of skills, or a certain period of time.
