Enabling Review Status

Review Status allows students to mark items that they have reviewed.  This feature provides a benefit for students, as students can mark which items in the course they have reviewed, so they can focus on items they have not yet reviewed.  In addition, the course instructor can also see which items students have reviewed by reviewing the students' user progress.
