Combine four observable participation rates into a transparent engagement index for an online course. The score weights weekly activity, on-time progress, assessment participation, and course interaction. It is designed for consistent cohort comparisons and trend tracking—not as a universal benchmark or a judgment about individual motivation.
The 0–100 score summarizes the four entered rates using fixed, visible weights. A change in the score is meaningful only when measurement definitions and the learner population stay comparable.
This is a locally defined composite index, not a validated psychological scale or an industry standard. Adjust operational decisions using the component rates as well as the total.
With rates of 72%, 64%, 78%, and 55%, the weighted engagement score is 67.7 out of 100.
No. It is a transparent composite for internal tracking and comparison under consistent definitions.
This model gives progress 30% because it reflects continued movement through the learning path; the weight is an explicit design choice.
No. Enter all four rates so the fixed weighting remains comparable across periods.
They should not be compared directly unless the measurement definitions, cohort scope, and time window are aligned.
No. Engagement signals participation behavior and should be reviewed alongside assessments and other outcome evidence.
