Graphing Progress, Part 2

A couple days ago we launched a new feature that allows therapists to visualize their student's progress on their goals with a neat new graph.  It was pretty popular, and this post is to say that we've already made our first enhancement to it.

Most goals for students are defined in some sort of quantitative terms.  For example, Jimmy will be able to do X activity with Y% accuracy.  What we wanted was a way for our new progress graphs to show how a student is measuring up against that target.

So now, when you are editing a students goals, the form will look like this:

As you can see, there's a new field in there called "Target Percentage" (which is completely optional).  If you choose to use it, though, you get a nice enhancement when you look at your graph for that goal:

There are now 3 lines on the graph.  One (green) going from data point to data point, another (red) representing the "trend" of that student's progress (a linear regression on the data points), and a third (blue) showing the TARGET line going from the student's initial progress measurement for that time period to the target point at the end of the period.  With this data, therapists can see at a glance how a student is doing on a goal, and how they were expected to be doing for that same time period. 

Have another idea for how we could do things to make your work easier?  Leave us a note in the comments!
