Traffic Lights
NEW: A vision for education and skills at Newcastle University: Education for Life 2030+
What are traffic lights in NULA?
- Within the NULA system traffic lights are used to indicate how well a student is engaging in each of their modules by providing a quick visual indicator, green for high engagement, red for low engagement and amber for those in between.
- For each metric that is produced within the system a traffic light colour is assigned.
- The thresholds for each metric and the overall module summary are slightly different and can be found below.

Summary
The summary metric combines the metric scores for attandance, Canvas and submissions into a single value, summarising a student engagement at a module level.
The thresholds for the summary metric are shown on the right.
Traffic Light | Metric Values |
---|---|
Green | 70% or greater |
Amber | Between 30% and 70% |
Red | Below 30% |
