- Learner activity feed — recent lesson completions, assessment submissions, and new enrollments across all instructor-managed courses.
- Assessment results — a breakdown of quiz scores, pass/fail rates, and any short-answer submissions awaiting manual review.
- At-risk learners — learners who have not logged in recently or whose progress has stalled, highlighted for follow-up.
