This help article will walk faculty through the steps needed to view student progress for Experience Reporting. Faculty are able to view these experience notes for each student in their courses. VITALS can be found within VSTAR, from the Apps dropdown in the top right corner. You can also use the following link to open VSTAR Next directly.

The following workflow can be found from the “Course Submissions” page in Experience Reporting menu in the left-hand navigation panel of your computer’s browser. The VITAL experiences will now show the date of the submission as well.

1. Select a Course to view students
2. Select a user from the Student Experiences table to view submitted experiences
3. Select an Experience Date to view submission detail

  • Green= Total number of submissions for the experience item in the course’s specialty regardless of when it was seen
  • Blue= Number of submissions for the experience item associated with the course, but outside of the course’s specialty
  • Gray= Indicates no submissions for the experience item
• The Experience Dates column has icons that indicate which experiences took place in this course and which experiences took place in other courses
