Specifically, it counts the number of registrations that are currently in the `Registered` status. This represents learners who have enrolled in your content but have not yet `Completed` it. It gives you a clear picture of your "in-progress" student body.

This chart provides an immediate visual summary of your learner base.
While the chart will only display statuses that currently have data, the system recognizes the following definitions, each represented by a specific color:
80
98
-`Registered` (Blue): The learner has enrolled but has not yet completed the content.
81
99
-`Completed` (Green): The learner has successfully finished all required parts of the content.
82
100
-`Withdrawn` (Red): The learner has unenrolled from the content.
- Monitor the `registered` vs `completed` ratio - if `registered` grows much faster than `completed`, your content may be too difficult or lacks engagement
104
+
- Watch for large `withdrawn` segments - high withdrawal rates may indicate content quality issues or poor learner experience
105

- Track completion rates over time - improving rates suggest content optimization success, declining rates may signal new content challenges

This list helps you answer key questions about your content's popularity and engagement:
94
-
- Which of my courses is the most popular?
95
-
- Is the new content I just launched gaining traction with learners?
96
-
- Where should I focus my efforts for future content updates or improvements?
113
+
**Strategic Uses**
114
+
- Identify top-performing content - high registration numbers indicate strong learner interest, use this to understand what resonates
115
+
- Monitor new content launch performance - if new Learning Paths get few registrations, check marketing or content positioning
116
+
- Compare content performance - if similar topics have very different registration numbers, investigate what makes the difference

### A Practical Use Case
167
-
168
-
When you launch a new Learning Path, you can use the different components of the Instructor Console together to monitor its performance and gather insights for potential improvements. Here's one approach you might consider:
169
-
170
-
1.**Track Adoption**: In the **Content Metrics** widget, monitor your new Learning Path's registration numbers. These numbers can provide insights into initial learner interest and content visibility.
171
-
172
-
2.**Monitor Engagement**: Check the **Learner Registration** donut chart to see how learners are progressing. Are they moving from the `registered` to the `completed` status, or is the `registered` slice growing disproportionately large? This information can help you understand learner engagement patterns.
173
-
174
-
3.**Identify Potential Challenges**: Review the **Analyzing Test Performance** section. If a quiz from your new Learning Path appears in the **Most Difficult Test** card, check its pass rate in the **Test Metrics** list. A low pass rate might indicate that a specific topic could benefit from additional clarification or review.
175
-
176
-
4.**Investigate Further**: Use the **All Learners Report** to filter by your new Learning Path and a `Registered` status. This can help you identify learners who are currently in progress and might benefit from additional support or resources.
177
-
178
-
5.**Consider Next Steps**: Based on the data you've gathered, you might choose to reach out to learners for feedback, review and revise challenging content, or explore other approaches that align with your instructional goals and learner needs.
183
+
**Strategic Uses**
184
+
- Investigate difficult tests - when a quiz appears in the **Most Difficult Test** card with low pass rates, review the content and questions for clarity
185
+
- Monitor test attempt patterns - if **Most Attempted Test** has low pass rates, learners may be struggling with fundamental concepts
186
+
- Use pass rate trends - improving pass rates suggest content optimization success, declining rates may indicate new content is too challenging
