Quick way to view next Students in Activity Log/ View actual student progress

1. When going between students, it is a long process to click on the dropdown, find their name, click, and wait for page to load.  Usually I am wanting to view each student's progress, so a simple "right arrow" that I could click on to view the "next" student would be great.  Or a Next button.  Something that doesn't require a dropdown for all 20+ names.

2. I want to see the actual progress of my student.  I can see how much my student has mastered when I go to specific units, but when I click on the student's name, I no longer can see their actual progress status.  I just see their activity log.  I'd like to be able to see what they have mastered, what they're working on, and what they're missing, all in a page.  Is this possible?

3. Another user suggested a page where all progress/current activity for the students was listed on one page - aka, view my "class" at the same time and see where everyone is.  I LOVE this idea and really hope it can become reality.  

Thanks so much for everything here!
