 == Course maps ==
 
+Bolt provides another analytic tool called "course maps".
+Course maps give you a high-level view of the flow of students
+through your course.
+You can see whether they're spending lots of time,
+where they're dropping out,
+and where they're scoring too high or low on exercises.
+
+To see this in action, generate some synthetic data.
+Edit the bolt_datagen.php script:
+{{{
+$clear_course_data = false;
+$generate_compare_data = true;
+$generate_map_data = true;
+}}}
+and run it.
+
+Then go to the Bolt Admin page, and select Course Map for this course.
+You'll see something like:
+
+[[Image(map.png, nolink)]]
+
+This shows your course in outline form.
+For each lesson and exercise you can see
+
+ * How many times it was viewed
+ * The breakdown of outcomes:
+  * Green: the student clicked the Next button
+  * Yellow: the student clicked a button other than Next
+  * Red: the student didn't click anything (i.e. they left the course at this point).
+ * The average time spent on the item.
+
+For exercises and exercise sets, the map shows the average score.
+
+As with Lesson Compare, you can break down or filter the results
+according to any student attribute.
