Additional information to include in reports

With the growing use of eLearning activities based on SCORM it would be beneficial to incorporate some additional data columns into reports beyond the Status, Date and Grade. The addition of a start date and the time spent in the activity would provide the information needed to evaluate activities in terms of how long an online activity is taking. In business, an example is a situation in which tax incentives for training employees are provided based on the amount of time spent in training.

A feature to add, would be the ability to customize a report. This would require adding the ability to design a report based on a list of data columns available. This would allow the user to generate a report that includes the data desired. That way, instead of designing different reports to satisfy different needs, the could be just one report engine that is passed the columns to include in report.
