This document records the secondary workflow as developed in the Measuring qualification effects project, and later refactored in the Refining a framework project, to track a students progress across several courses. In other words, rather than the course being the unit of analysis, the student is. The student’s progress is traced by their participation, which can be in several courses taken over several years.

The workflow builds on the forum posts analysis. Therefore, that workflow has to be complete and have produced the data inputs before running this analysis. See the forum posts analysis documentation for more information.
Trace participants by their Moodle user IDs across forums.
