The Import items and the Export items allow course creators to either import or export their checklists from one course to another so that checklist do not need to be recreated each time they are required and can act as a template for all courses created.
View Checklist
The View checklist page allows the course creator to view the items once the items have been 'checked off' and produce a graphical indicator displaying the progress of all of the items (eg Assignment and Quiz have progressed to 50%).

The View progress page has two minor tabs Hide/Show optional items and Show progress bars/Show full details that are inter changeable but when entering the View progress tab for the first time, the default options are Show optional items and Show full details indicating the activities completed.
With Hide optional items visible, the 'Discussion' that was optional is visible. With the Show progress bar available to select, the administrator is able to view the progress of the student. The Test Student in the example below has completed both the Assignment and the Quiz indicated in a green colour and with 'ticks' displayed in their appropriate column.
Selecting Hide optional items, will hide any items that are optional in the checklist. The 'Discussion' that was optional is now no longer visible to the course creator.
With the Show full details available to select, the administrator is able to view the progress of the student. The Test student has completed 50% of their items being both the Assignment and the Quiz and displays 2/4 of the items completed with the Discussion activity included.
With the Show optional items available to select, the administrator is able to view the progress of the student. The Test Student has completed 66% of their items being both the Assignment and the Quiz and displays 2/3 of the items completed with the Discussion activity excluded and viewing the eCreators link not yet viewed and completed.
Selecting on an individual student will display the individual students progress with administrators able to toggle back to View all students, Add a comment to a students record and Toggle names and dates.
If there a items that are optional (eg Discussion) two progress bars will be available, the first bar displays items that are required and the second bar displays all items (includes both the required and optional).
Administrators are able to add individual comments for each student in the checklist by selecting the Add comments button and making relevant comments as the student moves through their activities. An example of added comments could include when the activity was submitted or the mark the student received for their completion of their quiz.
Selecting the Toggle names & dates button allows administrators to view when student activities were completed displaying both the date and time when each activity was completed.
